The Ancient Languages of Europe by Roger D Woodard

This book, derived from the acclaimed Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient Languages, describes the ancient languages of Europe, for the convenience of students and specialists working in that area. Each chapter of the work focuses on an individual language or, in some instances, a set of closely related varieties of a language. Providing a full descriptive presentation, each of these chapters examines the writing system(s), phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon of that language, and places the language within its proper linguistic and historical context. The volume brings together an international array of scholars, each a leading specialist in ancient language study. While designed primarily for scholars and students of linguistics, this work will prove invaluable to all whose studies take them into the realm of ancient language.
Roger D. Woodard is the Andrew Van Vranken Raymond Professor of the Classics at the State University of New York, Buffalo. His numerous publications include The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient Languages (2004).
