About This Book

Surveying the distribution of languages across Europe, the work analyzes how linguistic frontiers align with topography, economic and social conditions, and state boundaries. It surveys regional language areas—Franco-Germanic, Italian, Scandinavian, Polish, Bohemian/Moravian/Slovak, Hungarian/Rumanian, and Balkan—and presents a focused study of Turkish territories and their peoples. The argument emphasizes mapping and applied geography as tools for drawing scientific boundaries, and the book supports assertions with maps, statistical data, case studies, and appendices on settlements, classification, and place names.
