Incidentally, there's a Basque grammar online here

http://www.ehu.es/grammar/

in case anyone wants to, say, prove that all conlangs are ultimately
descended from it.

If anyone knows where there's a grammar of Navajo online, or any
detailed discussion of Mapudungu(n) in English, I'd be obliged to hear
of it.
