I found this on a few days ago and neither then nor now could I get the
blooming things to open. Highly frustrating!!

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.

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!!

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?

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.

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.
