Good starting Linguistics books/ pages

New at this. I want to learn, as I'm currently developing languages for the
three alien races in contact with Earth in a shared fiction universe. I do know
the Etherians (elves) have a sound somewhere between the Chinese (Manderian and
other dilects) and the Six Nations people.

A bit about myself. I'm Daniel Sauve, and I'm a francaphone who's isolated from
french due to living among the English Canadians for most of my life. As soon as
I find a free way to submerge myself in Canadian French, I will learn it.
Currently, English is my only fluent language. I am a writer, and for money I
wash dishes. :)

Lessons learned from RPGs:
If you don't understand something said to you in a strange language, back away
slowly without making eye contact, because it's either a threat or an
invitation to copulate.
