I found this on a few days ago and neither then nor now could I get the blooming things to open. Highly frustrating!!
Berber: http://home.t-online.de/home/Petra.Bode/wort.htm http://perso.club-internet.fr/tilit/lexiquetamazirtfrancais.html
These were ones I was aware of, too. Does anyone know of any sites on Berber langs which have been done in English? My French consists of making guesses from my pitiful Spanish and my German does not exist.
Punic: http://www.let.leidenuniv.nl/vtw/jongeling/latpun/LPintro.htm
This site is INCREDIBLE!!! This is useful to me beyond words! (Hmm, I need to make a word that means that and put it in Lrahran [an alien lang].) Where/how did you find this site? I have done multiple searches through google ,but never found anything like this site!!
Gothic: (Is this close enough for Vandal?) http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kurisuto/germanic/wright.html http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kurisuto/germanic/heyne.html http://www.cs.tut.fi/~dla/gothic.html
It'll probably *have* to be since there doesn't seem to be a scrap of Vandal in existance beyond a few names like Gaiseric. Does anyone know if there has been any guess as to the relative positions of Vandal and Gothic on the Germanic tree? Are they both East Germanic or is it unknown/unknowable?
Sardinian: http://sardegna.crs4.it/ditzonline/home.asp
Unless I'm missing something, from my glance over this site you need to already *know* the Sardinian word to use this dictionary. Okay. I looked again and found how to enter an English term and find the Sardinian. But I'm still not sure *which* Sardinian "dialect" I'm looking at here.
Calabrian: http://www.platonet.it/termini/ind-fram.htm Venetian: http://www.veneto.org/language/index.asp Provençal: http://www.mnet.fr/sabaud/gb_index.html
All of these are interesting (especially the Veneto site) and any/all could be useful, but what I'm hoping to find is infor on the medeival dialects of these langs, circa 1200-1500.

Cheers! Eamon
