Equal parts a book about language, geography, and history, History of Language by Patrick Foote uncovers the stories of how languages have traveled the globe and found homes in new places. This ranges from how English got to the USA, French to Canada, Arabic across North Africa, and so on. Each chapter explains one of these cases: where the language first originated from, how it arrived at its new destination, what languages were spoken there originally, what became of those languages, and how the language has changed in its new home.

Autorenporträt
Patrick Foote was born in London but has since moved to Plymouth in the southwest of England. Patrick always enjoyed learning and has always had a particular interest in language and linguistics. This all resulted in the creation of his popular YouTube channel Name Explain, which started life focusing on uncovering the origins of names but now covers anything and everything language. Name Explain has been a huge success, becoming one of the most popular etymology and language channels on YouTube. When not making YouTube videos or wiring books he enjoys reading, playing board/video games, watching pro wrestling, walking, and wild swimming.
