For an SF story I'm working on, I would like to find references on how
the environment affects languages (e.g. how/why did the Eskimos develop
all those words for snow?) and how dialects and languages form in isolated
groups of people. The story concerns some colonists who have been out of
contact with Earth for a few centuries.
