Does anyone have a resource for French syncretism in monosyllables?

French
Aeruyo

Arabic
Aramaic
Ayeri
Burushaski
Cherokee...

Which of these that you've read have proven to be of good quality?

EDIT: I don't mean just those few, I just didn't want to copy the whole list. Just wanted to make sure that that was clear.

French prescriptivism from Québec:

http://66.46.185.79/bdl/gabarit_bdl.asp?Th=1

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.

Practical manual on Medieval Latin, by Dag Norberg (originally in French, translated by R. H. Johnson)
http://www.orbilat.com/Languages/Latin_ ... index.html
Essay on Medieval Latin. I'm actually surprised this was published in 1980... It shows a pretty modern understanding of the topic.

[Melteor]

^^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.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Tocharian (but were afraid to ask).


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?

[Shrdlu]

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.
