The Sinitic Languages is the quintessence of Mieczyslaw Jerzy Künstler's thirty years of research into the Chinese languages. Originally published in Polish in 2000 as Języki chińskie, this work collected Künstler's various lectures on the fascinating world of this branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family.

Z całą pewnością nie tylko będzie stanowić cenny materiał dla wąskiego grona badaczy, ale również z powodzeniem trafi do rosnącej grupy odbiorców zainteresowanych szeroko pojmowaną problematyką chińską." Z recenzji prof. dr. hab. Adama W. Jelonka Nacjonal...
