To John Croft -
What is "the anomalous position of Khoisanid
languages"?
Also: how do we know there were three times as many languages 8 500 BC?
15,000 languages at a time when the world population was much smaller than today
- this figure gives a new perspective to language diversity and development, but
before I accept it wholeheartedly I would like to know some more about the story
behind this figure.
