Beyond Babel remains the only television series to take an in depth look at the way in which English is being adopted and adapted around the world and how its tremendous rate of growth is driven by trade, culture, politics and technology. The series also explores the impact of this globalization on endangered languages and the relationship of English with its other major linguistic competitors.

The series was devised and produced by Michael Blythe at Infonation Media, a UK based independent television production company. Beyond Babel was filmed in USA, Japan, China, India, South Africa and Europe, with contributions from a wide range of international personalities. It has been broadcast in sixty two countries.

In response to he success of the broadcast series, Beyond Babel is also available on DVD with additional sequences, interactive menus and multi-language options. Full details of the DVD are detailed on this site and copies may be purchased from our on-line shop.
