Could anyone point me to a resource listing the syllable structures of natural languages? You can usually find what your looking for, if you do a little digging, but after searching unsuccessfully for the syllable structure of proto-Dravidian, I wondered if people had been so drustrated before.
Alternatively, would you be interested in making this thread such a resource?

Re: Syllable Structure by Language

I found this in The Dravidian Languages by Bhadriraju Krishnamurti Cambridge University Press, Jan 16, 2003 - Foreign Language Study - 545 pages ISBN 1139435337, 9781139435338

Thanks so much

No problem. I found it using a simple Google Books search. If you are careful with your search criteria you can find what you're looking for 99.9999% of the time.

Doesn't WALS have info on this sort of thing?
"I'm sorry, when you have all As in every class in every semester, it's not easy to treat the idea that your views are fundamentally incoherent as a serious proposition."
Re: Syllable Structure by Language
Yes, but it's a very basic distinction. All they distinguish between is (C)V, (C)(R)V(C), and anything more complex than that.
