P-base is a searchable database of 8000+ sound patterns as reported in grammars of 628 
varieties of 549 spoken languages, which represent all grammars found on the shelves in 
the libraries of The Ohio State University and Michigan State University during 2003 and 
2004 (Library of Congress PA-PM).  

The database was collected for my dissertation and will be distributed by Oxford with the 
book version of it.  It will also remain freely downloadable.  I am looking for people to provide 
feedback on the program and the data in it.  

The beta version of the program can be downloaded from 
http://www.u.arizona.edu/~mielke/research/pbase.html

Please send questions and comments to mielke at u.arizona.edu.  Let me know how the 
database and interface could be made more useful to you in terms of features or content. 

Thanks
Jeff Mielke
