- 12-page Digital Download for $8.95. By linguists Merritt Ruhlen and Joseph Greenberg (from Stanford University) and the staff of the Exploratorium Museum of San Francisco. Some graphics are 8.5x11" pages and others are two-page spreads at 11x17". Merritt Ruhlen’s original work, A guide to the world's languages, was published by the Stanford University Press in 1987. Ruhlen collaborated with the staff at the Exploratorium Museum of San Francisco to create a 12-page guide, entitled The Evolution of Languages in 1999 to accompany his original Language Map poster. This download is that guide, as the copyright has been transferred to ODT so that we could create a new equal-area Language Families Map on the Hobo-Dyer projection. Two years of research, design, and consultation with Stanford University linguists went into the production of the Language Families chart explained by this fascinating booklet. Colorful and filled with fascinating and useful information. With it you can trace the history of the English language, find out how Tiwi relates to Pitjantjatjara, or discover the current top 12 languages of the world.
