. . . 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"
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

Book Synopsis
The description for this book, The Languages of China, will be forthcoming.
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 Quotes
