It makes replying to you and actually reading your messages much mùch easier. As for the question, there are several books. You can look for Grandgent's "Introduction to Vulgar Latin" (to the point!) and Muller and Taylor's "Chrestomathy of Vulgat Latin" for starters. Most university libraries should have them. Online, certainly check out an article on the language (such as Wikipedia's). They list a number of good sources that involve VL as part of Latinity in general (Palmer, Sihler, Boyd-Bowman, etc). Actually, it looks like Grandgent is available online through Google Books so you don't have to schlepp over to the library for that one! As for people, you could enroll at UCLA, for example, and take courses: http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/humnet/classics/faculty/regular/Vine.htm ;))) You appear to be in Austria (or at least "ruhm.at" leads us to a flickr page with images taken ìn Austria or Germany), so perhaps a univerity there could offer such a course. At the very least, you could buy the course books! Padraic
