Thanks for the tips. Just one problem: when I clicked on the above
URL,
I was taken to something called "Reliant Energy HL&P", a very
interesting
site about energy consumption, but slightly off topic. ;-)
Anyhow, not to worry: after surfing around a bit, I happened upon a
site
that,
if not known already, might be of interest to you and others on this
list.
It's the "Yamada Language Center" at the University of Oregon, URL:
http://babel.uoregon.edu/yamada/guides.html
It has descriptions (some more detailed than others)of 115 of the
world's
natlangs, auxlangs, and even some conlangs (I spotted Ferengi, Klingon,
and something called "Tolkien Languages" )
Depending on the lang, it has further
links to things
such as websites, newsgroups, mailing lists, etc.
devoted to that lang and/or it's culture. The online grammar of Georgian
is fairly detailed. I've bookmarked the site!
