Online Resource (language)--google languages

[King, Dr Alexander D.]

It does not strike me as any more useful for grant applications than the Ethnologue, perhaps less so comparing the reputations. One feature that would be nice, especially for students looking for projects, would be highlighting languages that have little or no documentation. Clearly, the lack of 'samples' on the website doesn't mean a lack of documentation.

Is there a website of any kind that advertises undocumented or understudied languages?

I'd very strongly encourage anyone who sees errors in the catalogue to submit a comment, and if you have language samples that you're able to share, that would be great. We are very concerned to make this an accurate resource that reflects the communities whose languages are listed. The catalogue won't bring the languages back, of course, but it could be useful to point to when applying for grants, for example.
