This is an introduction to the history of languages, from the distant past to a glimpse at what languages may be like in the distant future. Tore Janson discusses the appearance of new languages, the reasons why some languages spread and others die, considers whether similar cyclical processes are found at different times and places, and examines the causes of internal changes in languages and dialects.
