Linguaphile—meaning ‘a person who loves languages and words’—is a new independent title dreamt up by an editorial team of linguists, teachers, interpreters and lifelong polyglots. It’s a magazine devoted to a nuanced understanding of language, honing in on the ways of life and self expression inherent to each unique dialect. 

Themed ‘Everything Left Unsaid’, this inaugural edition—backed by several years of extensive research—explores what is overlooked or ‘unheard’ in language discourse. Readers can expect a candid profile of Tokyo born and raised actor and content creator Joshua Thompson, exploring misconceptions surrounding his identity as a result of his grandparents British heritage, Shana Ryan delves into the rift between direct and indirect expression between languages, and Mābu Nauendorff examines linguicide—the deliberate erasure of a dialect—in Tibet. 

Plus, discover further language stories spanning the Philippines, the Japanese Okinawa Islands, and Saudi Arabia.
