Almost certainly. After a quick perusal of Oxford's
website, I couldn't find any online listing of courses
taught, but I have no doubt that there are resources
for a wide variety of languages there.  I don't know
what kinds of requirements they have to take courses,
but Oxford's libraries are world-famous (especially the
Bodleian library), so I would take advantage of them
if you can.  (They may be closed to the public; UChicago's
Regenstein library is, but I don't know what Oxford's
policies are.)
