Mapping The World - The Planet Of The Languages
Description
Our planet is a "Tower of Babel " where nearly 7000 languages are spoken. Some linguists agree that by the end of the century, almost half will have disappeared. However, languages are living, most notably by being objects of geopolitical conflicts.
The United Nations has 6 international languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. This plethora of languages can be a source of conflict, like in Catalonia, Crimea..., or even a power issue at a time when soft power is so important; particularly in the competition between English, French and Chinese on the African continent.
The Serie : Then complex world of geopolitics broken down into ten minute, bite-sized chunks. You'll never sound uninformed at the dinner table ever again.
