i just really want to read on these subjects, i'm preparing my tbr đ€Łâ
Maybe not the same as language specifically, but Iâm reading a book called An Atlas of Endangered Alphabets, and while it may not perfectly fit your list, I recommend it if youâre interested in reading about language! Iâm about halfway through so far, and Iâve learned a lot about lesser known languages and about the value and importance of preserving endangered languages. Itâs really interesting! And Iâm definitely stealing some books from this awesome list ;)

Thanks ! I still have 4 other lists related to languages in drafts, including one about writings, so it may fit! Or maybe I will make a list on endangered languages actually, it is indeed an interesting and important subject ! Please do !
