It's awful, awful. I wish there were that many Pipil speakers in El Salvador, but supposing there's any source for that map it must be from the 19th century or something.Alces wrote:http://www.muturzikin.com/en.html
Some really nice maps of language ranges. They show the languages extending into adjacent countries, which is an improvement over Ethnologue. They also seem to have maps for every country. I don't know how accurate it is, or where its sources are.

Re: resources
This is not about linguistics, but it's a massive database of folktale motifs from a number of different cultures according to the Aarne-Thompson index. Might be useful for your conculture's scriptures.faiuwle, on the CBB, while the Zeeb was down, wrote:TV tropes is not nearly as painstakingly organized, though. This isn't based so much on the type index as on the motif index, which breaks the types down into individual story components and is incredibly massive. It's also not specific to any particular culture, or anything.
Re: resources
Does anyone have a website showing how to simplify hanzi, going from standard grade school writing fully simplified grass script? In English? I know there was one ages ago but I lost it.
Also, does anyone have an English website with audio that goes into detail on intonation, tones, tonic, etc.?

List by CONLANG-L's Roger Mills of when he was doing fieldwork in Indonesia some decades ago. Apart from specific SEA-lang stuff, probably pretty useful in general to cover a wide range of everyday words (it made me notice my conlang e.g. still has almost no words for rather basic cooking utensils).

Would anyone fancy a grammar of Abui? It's quite fleshed out, at around 560 pages I reckon.

OTOH, it ananyses every branch of Iroquian, and many individual languages.
And, fine sir, here it be for you: A History of the Iroquian Languages by Charles Julian
Dandy thing. I use it to crossreference my sound changes for believability.
Edit: it also has dandy handdrawn sketches.

Re: resources
Is it safe to click those filehoster links, or must I be afraid that I'll be sued over downloading stuff from there next week?
Re: resources
It's safe - Mediafire is the only filesharer that has won the court battle fought by the American govt. so far. It's not going down any time soon (by soon I mean two weeks)Guitarplayer wrote:Is it safe to click those filehoster links, or must I be afraid that I'll be sued over downloading stuff from there next week?
Unless, of course, you want me to upload something to some Kyrgyz filesharer which will likely be taken down soon due to pedofiliac material storage charges...

Re: resources
I can make out 11 conlangs on that list. Mostly ones that have been mentioned on Conlangery.
Mine is among them. Oh shi-, I should get back to grammar writing in the holidays

Re: resources
I'd love to see the Maltese and Coptic ones. What's the Burushaski-stuff you have? I have some short papers on it but no actual grammar.
Re: resources
Yeah, Burushaski sound interesting.
If I stop posting out of the blue it probably is because my computer and the board won't cooperate and let me log in.!
