If anyone found this interesting, I highly recommend the audiobook/lecture "Language Families of the World" by John McWhorter. The title makes it sound dry, but he's a very entertaining lecturer. It's one of those works that - if you have never been exposed to the subject - is a window to an previously unnoticed detail in everyday life. Similar to when one learns about an architectural flourish and from that point forward sees it on buildings everywhere.
