The Frontiers of Language and Nationality in Europe

"The Frontiers of Language and Nationality in Europe" by Leon Dominian is a book that examines the complex link between language and national identity in the early 1900s. It studies how Europe's geography played a big role in the development of languages and nationalities. The book looks at language as something that brings people within a nation together, but then looks at the effects of migrations and fights over land. It starts off by describing how language and territory are connected, explaining that human settlement and geography have shaped languages, cultures, and identities. The author shows how physical landscapes and population changes have influenced the borders in Europe and also, how boundaries became what they became after World War I.
