An in-depth grammar of Proto-Germanic. Ideal for anyone considering doing an a posteriori language from Germanic.

I just hope this won't invalidate Dekavurian...

It looks like the page here may be a more complete (and partially unicodified!) version of those Khoisan resources. It also links to some recordings of Sandawe and Hadza on UCLA's site.

http://www.sron.nl/~jheise/akkadian/Welcome.html

Home page (DUB.E = tuppi bitim, 'home clay tablet') on Akkadian, an introduction collected by John Heise. Akkadian is a great cultural language of world history. These pages are about the cuneiform writing system on clay tablets, the language, the grammar. Some texts examples with transliteration and explanation are presented.

One of the better sites on cuneiform that I have seen.

I might add that redfox's Web site contains a fair amount of other interesting material, including print and online resources for aspiring authors, and info on her own work.

I hope to further explore some of these links in the future.
