Covering the political, social and historical background of each language, Dictionary of Languages offers a unique insight into human culture and communication. Every language with official status is included, as well as all those that have a written literature and 175 'minor' languages with special historical or anthropological interest. We see how, with the rapidly increasing uniformity of our culture as media's influence spreads, more languages have become extinct or are under threat of extinction. The text is highlighted by maps and charts of scripts, while proverbs, anecdotes and quotations reveal the features that make a language unique.

This is an open access book. The 2nd International Conference on Languages and Arts across Cultures (ICLAAC) aims to provide a venue for lecturers, teachers, researchers, as well as language and art professionals to share their insights, experiences, and ideas. This conference will also bridge the knowledge gap by presenting their works on languages and arts issues. The event will provide limitless resources and opportunities to interact with prominent scholars in this field worldwide. This will allow us to significantly expand our existing global network.The conference theme will give us a better understanding of humans through languages and arts. The development of cultural value occurring in today's global communities is certainly a stimulant for artist and language users in creating their artifacts. Restoring cross-cultural understanding is a bridge to understanding the complexities of language, culture, and the role of art in them. Cross-cultural understanding refers to people's attempts to understand one another, particularly between people of different cultural backgrounds. Significant cultural and artistic creations are incorporated into a language that promotes scholarly debate and scientific comprehension. As an attempt to minimize the spread of covid-19 virus, the conference presenters will be invited to present their papers online via zoom.
