If you enjoyed this book you should read every other book in the world for extra textual context. All things are intricately related to one another.

one may think "language" is french or spinach for "the nguage". this is a folk etymology myth, it is actually more like mile -> mileage. "How much language are you getting out ofthose words"

[galileosballs]

I regret to inform everyone that this is actually not that far off the real etymology. The 'langue' part of language comes from the latin 'lingua', meaning 'tongue', and the '-age' suffix is something the word picked up in old french as a suffix of action (like how a 'pilgrimage' is 'that thing pilgrims do'). So really it's more like 'what that tongue do'

[unfavorableinstigation]

Well, that's upsetting.

[allthingslinguistic]

I'm a linguist and this is completely true.

Also the Proto Indo-European root for tongue is cursed and needs to be brought to your attention:

late 13c., langage "words, what is said, conversation, talk," from Old French langage "speech, words, oratory; a tribe, people, nation" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *linguaticum, from Latin lingua "tongue," also "speech, language" (from PIE root *dnghu- "tongue"). The -u- is an Anglo-French insertion (see gu-); it was not originally pronounced.
