Mit dem "Atlas der verlorenen Sprache" geht die Reise einmal um den Globus. Es beschreibt 50 der ungewöhnlichsten Sprachen, die bereits verloren oder gefährdet sind, bis hin zu Sprachräumen wo es gerade noch einmal 10 Menschen gibt, die ihre eigene Sprache noch am Leben erhalten. Von irokesisch bis Hopi, von Saterfriesisch bis Himba, von Tofalarisch bis weit in den südlichen Pazifik zum australischen Wangkanguru! Die wunderschönen Illustrationen von Hanna Zeckau machen dem Leser richtig Lust in die Geschichten einzutauchen, denn es gibt viel ungewöhnliches und spannendes zu entdecken. Das Gefühl von Sprachenvielfalt und dem Kulturkreis in dem wir aufwachsen und uns bewegen, beschreibt die Pulitzer-Preisträgerin Jhumpa Lahiri treffend in ihrer Feststellung: ?Wenn eine Sprache, mit der man sich identifiziert, weit weg ist, tut man alles, um sie lebendig zu halten. Weil die Wörter alles zurückbringen: den Ort, die Menschen, das leben, die Straßen, den Himmel, die Blumen, die Geräusche.?
