Kukisvoomchor, author and curator of fun facts at CuriousNotions.com, continues to enthrall readers with his debut compilation, The Twelve Months of the Year in 850 Languages and Dialects. With meticulous research and an impressive range of languages, this insightful book is not only an interesting read, but also a compelling linguistic commentary that highlights the diversity of the human race throughout history.
Kukisvoomchor’s work lists the twelve months of the Gregorian calendar in each of the 850 languages and dialects that give the book its namesake. However, this volume is far more than a simple recitation of terms. Each page contains two entries with accompanying profiles that review the language’s origins, number of speakers, geographic roots, and other key details.
The Twelve Months of the Year in 850 Languages and Dialects focuses on less commonly known tongues that differ significantly from modern neo-Latin languages. Kukisvoomchor drew upon his extensive database, a project that has spanned over a decade, to offer a glimpse into extinct and endangered languages. This book also includes information about foreign writing systems, complete with custom artwork to show different alphabets and diacritic accent markings.
Although readers of any age and background can appreciate the breadth of The Twelve Months of the Year in 850 Languages and Dialects, this incredible book is especially relevant for young people who are ravenous for information about the world around them. From Acehnese to Mozarabic to Svan, Kukisvoomchor showcases both the unique nature of language as a cultural element and the common threads woven between even the most disparate groups.
As the internet makes societies both more open and more isolated, The Twelve Months of the Year in 850 Languages and Dialects is a powerful reminder of the vastness of the human experience. As many yearn to travel and immerse themselves in different cultures, Kukisvoomchor’s work allows readers to slip away into other times and other places.
Reviewers describe The Twelve Months of the Year in 850 Languages and Dialects as “a great book for curious minds” and the images as “gorgeous.” With engaging writing and an informal tone, Kukisvoomchor’s debut compilation is perfect for casual readers and scholars alike.
