From the Back Cover:
The picture of China presented here is a study not just of one language but of many. Along with a description of what we in the West conventionally call 'Chinese, ' it also contains descriptions of the dozens of other languages spoken within China's international borders, the languages of the so-called national minorities.
Review:
"In producing a book on China as a linguistic area, the ideal is a comprehensive and accurate account that places China's linguistic diversity in a meaningful historical, geographical, and social context. Ramsey has succeeded admirably in achieving this end."---Jerome L. Packard, The Journal of Asian Studies
". . . a unique and brilliant work. . . . Ramsey integrates nearly all of the gains of modern research on the Chinese language and skillfully presents the results in a concise, interesting, and comprehensible manner."---Charles N. Li, American Anthropologist
". . . I find The Languages of China a pleasure in virtually all respects. It is extremely easy to read, full of useful information, and beautifully produced."---Victor H. Mair, Pacific Affairs
"[This] is a volume that provides a feeling of depth while still being accessible to the general reader: I recommend it to anyone at all interested in Chinese history or comparative linguistics." (Danny Reviews)
