The Linguasphere Observatory is a research network devoted to the
classification of the world&rsqu;0s languages and dialects, the study and
promotion of multilingualism and the exploration of our global linguistic
environment. The Linguasphere website
(<http://www.linguasphere.org>www.linguasphere.org ) currently contains
extracts from the forthcoming Linguasphere Register of the World's
Languages and Speech Communities, including
the the SEMITIC languages spoken in NORTH AFRICA and WESTERN ASIA.
 
The observatory would be very grateful to receive comments from linguists
on these extracts, which can be  viewed and downloaded (together with an
explanation of the methodology used entitled Guide to Extracts) - by
selecting the Download Extracts button on the homepage.  Any scientific
support  will of course be fully acknowledged.
