Summary, etc. | [17:50, 15/02/2022] Rashid Ali: This geographical atlas constitutes the first systematic presentation of<br/>the spatial and quantitative characteris- tics of the distribution of languages in<br/>the seven countries of South Asia. Utiliz- ing a semiographic analysis and com-<br/>bining and comparing language data from various national censuses covering<br/>a forty year period, this atlas enables read- ers to actually see the geographical loca-<br/>tion, extension and linguistic affinities of any of the numerous languages spoken<br/>in South Asia. <br/>The atlas is divided into two parts. In the<br/>first part, Professor Breton introduces the<br/>reader to the general relationship be-<br/>tween language and the complex ethno-<br/>cultural structure of the subcontinent, and<br/>raises interesting considerations on<br/>language as a component of cultural<br/>identity. He stresses both the importance<br/>of and difficulties in analyzing the vitality<br/>of South Asian language groups. Exa-<br/>mining the similarities and differences in<br/>language use and various ethnic traits<br/>among similar population groups,<br/>Professor Breton explores the relation-<br/>ship between language on the one hand<br/>and race, tribe, caste and religion on the<br/>other. |
