Beschreibung
Collection of languages intended for overviews and comparisions. I think it is a "must-have" for polyglots!
When I was very young, I started to collect phrases and words in many different languges and within the years I created a big archive. In this book, I want to open the archive to the public. The work consists of the so called ‘manuscripts’ which are the collected files, and an appendix with ‘Notes’. These notes contain useful information about the languages, grammatical features, explanations to the phrases, etc., making it a general reference work. It is intended for polyglots who want to get a glimpse in different languages through a few examples and want to understand the relations of the languages through these examples. In addition, this book contains a new orthography proposal for Lingao language, which does not a broadly written standard yet. In addition, there is a small introduction on Serbo-Croatian and a Luxembourgish course with 12 lessons, since Luxembourgish is my native language. The book is multilingual and the manuscripts are explained either in English, German, French, Chinese or Russian, so it is mandatory to know these languages, though this work might be useful for someone who is only fluent in English. The languages that can be found in this book: Abkhaz, Arabic (dialects only), Azerbaijani, Bakossi, Bambara, Bashkir, Burmese, Buyang, Cameroon Pigin, Chechen, Circassian, Fakauvea, Greenlandic, Hindi (Fiji), Indonesian/ Malay, Irish Gaelic, Jingpo/ Kachin (Myanmar), Karoninka/ Karone, Kazakh, Korean, Kreyol (St. Lucia), Kyrgyz, Lezgian, Lingala, Lingao, Lisu, Lithuanian, Mbuwing, Miao, Monegasque/ Monegascu, Mongolian, Nogay, Ossetian, Pashto, Persian, Pular, Romani/ Romanes, Samoan, Slovenian, Swedish, Swiss German, Tahitian, Tatar, Tibetan (two Kham dialects), Tokelauan, Tongan, Toucouleur, Turkish, Turkmen, Ukrainian, Uyghur, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Wolof, Zhuang/ Nung
