Trying to tap the vast resources of the internet for linguistic software, resources, or other helps
if you know of any other relevant sites, please comment on this blog
This is the first of an upcoming group of blogs containing links to web pages I have found to be valuable. I hope it can be of use to you, and that through your adding sites I don't know of be of value to me and to any other reader.
In the future, the "Language Sites" link under "Sites of interest" will bring you to this blog. I hope you add to my lists greatly. :-)
www.sil.org
Dedicated to studying and preserving "endangered" languages, SIL is an international service organization with a ton of resources. From fonts to downloadable software to extended papers (in PDF), SIL has more to offer than just a peak at an unknown language. Their purpose is "to work with language communities worldwide to facilitate language-based development through research, translation, and literacy. This site is intended to serve those who share our interests and goals as expressed in the Linguistic Creed." For the serious linguist in you.
www.basicsofbiblicalhebrew.com
Perhaps obviously for Hebrew, the purpose of this site is to "support and complement" the grammar of the same name. (written by Gary Pratico and Miles Van Pelt) Boasting "hundreds" of free charts, overheads, and flashcards, the site also offers FlashWorks--a vocabulary flash card program--and audio files of the pronunciation of the Hebrew alphabet. You can buy a CD with the pronunciation of every vocab word in the BBH grammar for $12 .
