Coulter H. George is an American classicist and linguist. His book and audiobook How Dead Languages Work is an accessible, fascinating introduction to the study of ancient languages — from Latin and Greek to Sanskrit and Egyptian hieroglyphs — explaining how linguists decode languages no longer spoken. George's writing is clear, intellectually stimulating and full of surprising insights, and the audiobook is a rewarding listen for language and history enthusiasts.
