Frank Ashwood<p>I’m currently writing a popular science book about the incredible world of soil - lucky me!

Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Atlas Obscura's Dan Nosowitz set out to determine what the fastest language in the world is, and immediately encountered a problem: What does that mean? Number of syllables spoken in a set amount of time? Amount of information conveyed? Language that can be understood when cranked up to the highest speed? He spoke to quantitative linguist Francois Pellegrino about how experts measure all this, and together, they came up with an answer.</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/MLMa-M" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/MLMa-M</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linguistics</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/PopScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PopScience</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Languages</span></a></p>
