Online Resource (language)--google languages

[Doug Whalen]

  Just to amplify Claire's response, the direct website for the NSF project is:
http://linguistlist.org/projects/elcat.cfm
They are working their way through 200,000 references to encode language and type (grammar, dictionary, etc.), and to give an initial quality rating.

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.

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.
