For all the language-learning people out there, the expansion of gbarto.com's language bookstore continues. Many years ago, I wrote a paper on the question of whether all languages or most languages could ultimately be shown to have a common ancestor (the so-called Nostratic hypothesis). In researching that paper and in pursuing other projects since then, I've used way too many language textbooks, grammars, readers, etc. Based on what I've learned, I've started a page devoted to resources for learning unusual or difficult languages. I now have recommendations for languages from Old English to Irish to Russian to Arabic to Japanese and Chinese, with more to come. And as of tonight, I've added the TurkeySister's recommendations for Lao! So if there's an odd language you'd like to learn, visit the exotic languages page and see if it's there (if it's not, send me an e-mail and I'll let you know if I can recommend anything).* * *
