Hey folks! I found an amazing website where one can donwload an electronic dictionary on one of 71 language! (Including Norwegian-English-Norwegian, Danish-English-Danish, Icelandic-English-Icelandic, Swedish-English-Swedish etc.)

By the way, what languages do you speak and what languages would you like to learn? For example, I speak Russian English, German and Norwegian, Danish and Swedish a little, and I am learning Icelandic, Faroese, Finnish, and some Celtic languages like Welsh, Cornish, Manx, Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, and Brittonic. If anyone knows where to get any information about Cumbric language, please tell me.

And what languages do you prefer?

Cavedweller,
You could find info about Cumbric language here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbric

Cavedweller,
And "Britonic" should be spelled as "Brythonic".

Cavedweller

thanks, I didn't know about it. When I was speaking to an American guy he said something like "Brittonic" and I thought that was right.

Nikke

Hi ! I speak English, French and Spanish. i'd like to learn Arabic, Chinese and Greek.

Cavedweller

Well, Nikke that's pretty good... Would you like to learn some Finno-Ugric languages like Finnish or Estonian? We are thinking about creation of a new forum, about Linguistics and Languages. And there was a talk about creation of an Estonian Forum. How do you think, will this forum be popular?

Teemu

Hi!I speak Russian, Ukrainian, Belarussian,Spanish,English(a little), Italian(a little).I am learning Icelandic, Finnish, Estonian, and Faroese.If anyone knows where to get any information about Faroese, please tell me.

About Estonian forum: I think It'll be popular, because we've some Estonian people on Valhalla.If they made some materials, we'd make an Estonian Lingvo/website.I'm sure there are many people in Russia who wants to speak Estonian perfectly!

P.S.:I'm sorry if I've done some errors on my English.

Cavedweller

At http://books.mysic.org/Faroese_language there is a basic overview of Faroese language. Faroese grammar is at http://home.unilang.org/wiki2/wiki.p...aroese_grammar ; Many information on Faroese language is at http://minlan.narod.ru/Faroesse.html (by the way, there is also some information on Cornish and some Europe's minor languages...)
