I think it's more an issue of minority dialect, maybe clerical error.

Definitely clerical errors. And huge clerical errors at that—it should be obvious to anybody that [kuˈmeɣatɬ] is not "inelwat".

That's a hard one.
I actually didn't find a single one in all the searches I pulled, but I found Luxogramm - a Luxembourgish verb conjugator, but in German

If you by chance have any contact with them, you should suggest putting like 5 example verbs next to the input box (just infinitives, though links to their full conjugations would be ideal.)

They have 10 actually, in the lower right corner, in big purple letters floating (aduire anar aver cantar far èsser poder saber valer venir). If you type any letter in the input field, you also get suggestions to complete the words.

This three-part document on Occitan grammar is also very interesting:

La Lenga en 100 tableus ('The language in 100 tables'), with tables of pronoun declension, verb conjugations, preposition + article combinations, correlatives and their main use... plus the commonest uses of a bunch of common verbs.

Forgive me for the double-post, but I have come upon an unholy amount of Eskimo-Aleut resources, particularly those relating to Kalaallisut. PM me if you want something.

An online course for learning Yoruba can be found here--with both text and audio.

A decent grammar sketch of the language is located here--in PDF.

I'd be interested to know if other high-quality resources are available on the Web for this speech variety.

I've found quite a lot of resources on Proto-Algic, and I've decided to be generous and share them here.
I couldn't find the first chapter (on phonology) and the second chapter (on verbs), so satisfy yourselves with this.
