Someone at Grenoble has posted a Lexicon of Linguistics which gives very detailed definitions - much better than the SIL Glossary, IMO.

Note: I've tried working backwards from the URL, but there doesn't seem to be a way to access the page for listings under a specific letter other than to type the letter in the address bar.

http://w3.u-grenoble3.fr/lebarbe/Lingui ... /ll_b.html
http://w3.u-grenoble3.fr/lebarbe/Lingui ... /ll_c.html

etc.

Also: Mora Theory.

Thanks for the Linguistic_Lexicon.
I looked up "liquid" and "lateral".
I tried to look up "rhotic" and/or "r-sound", but they're not there.

This is the Mayan Epigraphic Database Project. It is what it says it is, and it's pretty cool.
Edit:

http://www.dict.cc/
The goal of dict.cc is to make it possible to share your vocabulary knowledge with the world. This is the main difference to other translation services - every user is encouraged to contribute to the dictionary by adding and/or verifying English-German translation suggestions. The resulting vocabulary database can be downloaded, but please note that this is just a flat text file, not translation software (although the data might be usable for dictionary software).

Marc van Oostendorp is a linguistics professor at Meertens Institute in Amsterdam. He is also an enthusiastic supporter of 'open source linguistics' and an Esperantist.

His major field of expertise is phonology, and there is a wealth of information available on his website, including pdfs of outlines with notes (practically textbooks) for courses he has taught, like Tone and Segmental Structure, Autosegmental Phonology, and Optimality Theory.

There is way too much information on his site to list here.

On April 11, 2007, the Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Library of Vietnam in Hanoi to create a digital library of the National Library’s ancient script holdings in Hán and Nôm. This three-year project will open to the world a 4000-item cultural heritage of books, woodblocks, manuscripts, maps, and other materials on paper. For the first time, anyone with a computer, anywhere in the world, will be able to access this collection...with a click of mouse. This is a three-year project with an expected completion in 2010.
