R: ELL: HELP - The Canticle of the Creatures

[Marco Massignan]

Greetings.

It's just a list of the languages we don't have yet.
My mistake for stating "any other tribal language" - of course several in
the list aren't.
Also, tribal is not to be intended as a derogatory term, rather an
anthropological one.
Anyway, for more infos, you can visit the webstite www.consulman.com
