The World in Words presents: From Ainu to Zaza

The World in Words is a podcast about languages and the people who speak them. What happens to the brain on bilingualism? Should we fear the rise of global English? Is the United States losing its linguistic cohesion? Why are Chinese words about technology so inventive? Why does Icelandic have so many cool swearwords? Patrick Cox and Nina Porzucki bring you stories from the world’s linguistic frontlines. (In short, we’re nerdy and wordy.)  The World in Words began as an offshoot of the international news radio program, PRI’s The World.  You can listen and subscribe to The World in Words on AudioBoom, iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts.
