Why is the name 'Cleopatra' not allowed in Iceland? Why do clocks 'talk' to the Nahua people of Mexico? And if we are what we eat, are we also what we say? These are just some of the questions Daniel Tammet answers in 'Every Word is a Bird We Teach to Sing', a mesmerising new collection of essays investigating the intricacies and profound power of human language.
