Ditto, and other protos, but mostly in the form of
articles treating on a specific aspect of said.
I also have books on langs such as Ainu, Basque, and
other Isolates, various langs of PNG from famlies not
in your list and other various and sundry that are not
presently coming to mind.
Additionally I have materials on American Sign
Language, Signed English, British Sign Language,
Taiwan Sign Language, Hong Kong Sign Language, Plains
Indian Hand Talk, Austrian Sign Language, and articles
about others such as Russian, German, French, Martha's
Vinyard, Nicaraguan, Mexican and Hebrew signed
languages. Oh, and then there's Gestuno.
At present my language books fill about 6 standard
5-shelf book cases.
