Woodard CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title of 2006 The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient Languages is the first comprehensive reference work treating all of the languages of antiquity.

Each chapter 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 Encyclopedia brings together an international array of scholars, each a leading specialist in ancient language study. While designed primarily for linguistic professionals and students, this work is invaluable to all whose studies take them into the realm of ancient language. Roger D. Woodard is the Andrew V.V. Raymond Professor of Classics at the State University of New York, Buffalo. He previously served on the faculties of Classics and/or Linguistics at the University of Southern California, Johns Hopkins University and Swarthmore College.

Review 'This tome on our world's ancient communication offers a detailed and practical insight into each language, including writing, phonology and lexicon.' Good Book Guide '... a deeply interesting, even fascinating, work ...' Times Higher Education Supplement 'I have taken my time over reviewing this title simply because I found it so fascinating that I kept being sidetracked into other languages ... One thing that any broad-ranging reference book compiled to rigorously applied standard criteria does is to put the familiar into a new perspective: so the chapters on Latin and Greek treat those two 'major"languages in the same way as the others and allow, in fact encourage, genuinely comparative study ... the level of detail given in this handbook will satisfy many requirements ... academic in the best sense.' Reference Reviews 'Every serious library should have a copy in its reference collection, and many serious scholars will enjoy dipping into it and finding out just how linguistically diverse the ancient world really was.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review 'Woodard has done the scholarly world a great service ... This book fills a distinct void ... Highly recommended.' Library Journal 'A practical amd useful overview... we may well congratulate the editor with a really encylopaedic work...' Boekbesprekingen 'Written and organized clearly and concisely, this scholarly work contains a wealth of information about the languages of antiquity ... Essential.'
