Lost Words: The Forgotten Language of Humanity

Lost Words is a journey into the forgotten corners of language — exploring ancient, vanished, or untranslatable words that once shaped how humans thought, felt, and dreamed.Each short episode uncovers the story behind a single word: its origin, meaning, and the world it reveals about the people who spoke it. From Old Norse to Latin, from Japanese to Sanskrit, and even words lost in modern languages, this podcast revives them with storytelling, history, and philosophy.Through these “lost words,” listeners rediscover lost emotions, lost ways of seeing the world — and perhaps, lost parts of themselves.
