• The Rosetta Project: http://www.rosettaproject.org In only a century's time, over half of all existing languages will have completely disappeared. Many of these languages have neither written grammars, nor pronunciation guides in audio format. When these materials do exist, they are often out of print and very hard to locate. The Rosetta Project is mainly interested in the preservation of existing languages and especially those on the decline. This resource lists over 1,000 active languages and gives detailed descriptions, origin and current distribution of languages, numbers of speakers, families, typologies, histories, etc. It is a great resource to all those interested in language.
