A nice little resource on Dena'ina, an Athabascan language of Alaska.

Probably good material has already been given here, and not that this is exotic, but if anybody is interested:

French prescriptivism from Québec:



Weird... I remember reading the opinion of some guy from l'Office who said they preferred not to prescribe usage in Québec... I guess that as always there's internal disputes.

Two Spanish intonation resources. First is a cursory survey of several accents' distinguishing intontaional features for basic structures, second is a training tool for the subsequent standardized way of transcribing these patterns.

Essay on Medieval Latin. I'm actually surprised this was published in 1980... It shows a pretty modern understanding of the topic.

^^That's a pretty nice survey there. Thanks!

The Foreign Service Institute dissolved several years ago. I guess they were what the government used before Rosetta Stone. Now their stuff is online. So you get massive tomes with phonetic transcriptions including intonation, even for languages like Hausa and Fula. There is basic Spanish and French audio and book, and for French phonology alone.

When will somebody come out with a nice tome on Tocharian A and B that's a relatively complete survey of them, that I can put on my bookshelf, that's in English or French, and that doesn't cost through the nose?

Given the time-frame, It is nothing short of amazing how much I understand when reading the Tocharian words given.

I love how, on the top bar thing, Google says "+Tú", rather than "+Usted", like it knows you. Seems sort of similar to the way websites are all like "Welcome, Stephanie" and I'm like "How do you know my name? Oh, right, I told you, buy why are we on a first-name basis? YOU'RE A SOULLESS MACHINE! I DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND!" Oh, yeah, and the book seems interesting, too.
