Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What Happens When A Language Dies? The loss of a language is not merely the disappearance of words-it is the extinction of an entire civilization's soul. In When Languages Die, Dr. Robbie King delivers a sweeping, impassioned, and meticulously researched chronicle of one of humanity's most u…rgent and overlooked crises: linguistic extinction.Combining anthropology, linguistics, psychology, and cultural history, this monumental work explores the death of languages as civilizational collapse in miniature. From the final breath of Dalmatian and Tasmanian tongues to the precarious survival of Ainu, Yuchi, and Votic, Dr. King illuminates how the disappearance of a language erases not only a mode of speech, but unique worldviews, ecological wisdom, ancestral memory, and cognitive diversity.Through compelling case studies, philosophical reflections, and exhaustive documentation, the book examines how globalization, colonization, and modernization have driven over 90% of the world's languages to the edge. The consequences are not just cultural-they are psychological, existential, and irreversible.This is a sobering yet vital call to action for scholars, educators, policy-makers, and readers who care about the preservation of humanity's intellectual richness.About the AuthorDr. Robbie King is a clinical psychologist, aeronautical engineer, scientist, investor, economist, music composer and singer, humorist, digital artist, nature photographer, essayist, linguist, theologian, social critic, journalist, historian, former professional strongman and powerlifter, and multi-genre author with 80 published books spanning business, engineering, nature, strength sports, film criticism, trivia, art, biography, linguistics, poetry, psychology, horror, thrillers, and more.He has written and published books in 9 of the 10 categories of the Dewey Decimal System, tying for first all-time among authors in history alongside Isaac Asimov. In 2024, Dr. King broke Barbara Cartland's world record for most books written and published in a single year, with 39. His work blends intellectual depth with stylistic power, earning him recognition as one of the most prolific and original voices of our time. This item is printed on demand.
