A Grammar of Misantla Totonac: Studies in Indigenous Languages of the AmericasAuthor: Carolyn Mackay Publisher: University of Utah Press Publication date: 1999 ISBN: 0-874-80455-8 Number of pages: 459 Format / Quality: PDF Size: 3.9MB The
Totonac-Tepehua language family, though typologically similar to some
other Mesoamerican languages, has not yet been demonstrated to be
related to any other language family. Misantla Totonac is the
southernmost variety of Totonac and is spoken in the area between
Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz, Mexico and Misantla, Veracruz. In
1974, a newly paved road connected Xalapa and Misantla bringing a
relatively isolated area into contact with mainstream Mexican language
and culture. Consequently, Misantla Totonac is no longer acquired as a
first language by the local children and is rapidly being

Sanskrtska početnicaAuthor: Adolf Friedrich Stenzler Publisher: Nebo na Zemlji d.o.o.o, Zagreb Publication date: 1997 ISBN: 953-6427-08-7 Number of pages: 137 Format / Quality: PDF/Readable (not OCRed) Size: 4.8 MB Stenzlerov
davno prokušani priručnik po drugi je put povjeren novom prerađivaču.
Nužnima mi su se ukazale mnoge zamašne izmjene, pored onih koje su
proizašle iz dugogodišnje učiteljske djelatnosti. No sve želje koje su
se pokazale u novom izdanju nisu se mogle ispuniti. Da sam, kao što se
često predlagalo, umetnuo i vedski sanskrt i poredbenu gramatiku, opseg
i karakter priručnika u potpunosti bi se izmijenili. Stoga sam ostao
vjeran prvobitnome Stenzlerovu planu. Gramatika je u potpunosti ostala
deskriptivna i oslanja s

Salish etymological dictionaryAuthor: Aert H. Kuipers Publisher: Linguistics Laboratory, University of Montana Publication date: 2002 ISBN: 1-879-76316-8 Number of pages: 240 Format / Quality: PDF Size: 10MB A
classic etymological dictionary in the style of Pokorny's
Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch, resting on a fully worked
out theory of comparative Salish phonology and providing a
reconstruction for each etymology.
The Introduction (1-11) presents
a classification of the Salish languages — basically that of Swadesh
(UAL 16:157-67, 1950) — and an outline of the PS sound system, with
correspondences, following K.'s previously outlined scheme (UAL
47:323-35, 1981). Dictionary entries are divided into reconstructed
roots (12-202) and lexical suffixes (203-14), each section subdivided
into elements that can be reconst

Old Church Slavonic: An Elementary GrammarAuthor: S. C. Gardiner Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication date: 1984 ISBN: 0-521-23674-6 Number of pages: 192 Format / Quality: PDF Size: 4.2MB Old
Church Slavonic, the language of the religious texts translated by
Saints Cyril and Methodius for the use of the Slavonic-speaking people
of Central Europe in the early Middle Ages, later to become the
literary language of medieval Russia and other East European countries,
is a basic component of Modern Standard Russian. This is an elementary
grammar of the language for readers of English. No previous knowledge
of a Slavonic language or of philology or linguistics is assumed, and
the essential points are explained with the minimum of technical terms.
After a brief historical introduction, the sound system and its
representation by t

An Introduction to Old Frisian: History, Grammar, Reader, GlossaryAuthor: H. Rolf, Jr. Bremmer Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing Company Publication date: 2009 ISBN: 9-027-23255-5 Number of pages: 249 Format / Quality: PDF Size: 2.5MB The
aim of this book is given in the title: it claims to be an introduction
to Old Frisian. The need for such a book has long been due, especially
one that is written in English since the last introduction to Old
Frisian in that language appeared in the late nineteenth century. It is
true, Thomas Markey's Frisian (1981), a general survey of the
language with much attention for the medieval period, is still
available, but it lacks, for example, texts and a glossary. All other
introductory books on Old Frisian are in German. Bo Sjölin's concise
survey Einführung in das Friesische (

Etymological Vocabulary of the Shughni GroupAuthor: Georg Morgenstierne Publisher: Dr Ludwig Reichert Verlag Publication date: 1974 Number of pages: 119 Format / Quality: djvu Size: 4.8 Mb Quote from introduction:
In
this Etymological Vocabulary of the Shughni Group (i.e. Shughni, Bajui,
Khufi, Roshani, Bartangi, Oroshori, and Sarikoli) has been included
also Yazghulami, which is, in its vocabulary, so closely related to the
ShGr., as well as the little which has been recorded from the now
extinct Wanji, north of Yazghulami. I have also, as far as possible,
referred to words from Badakhshan Tajiki dialects, when suspect of
being of ShGr. origin.
(...)
My intention has been to give all
words recorded in sources available to me, which I have not been able
to trace to Tajiki, Turki, Russian or recent

Blind Owl (Bilingual - Educational)Author: Sadegh Hedayat Publisher: various Publication date: various Number of pages: 130 and 36 Format / Quality: RAR'd pdfs Size: 35 MB
"In life there are certain sores that, like a canker, gnaw at the soul in solitude and diminish it..."
These are the opening lines of the most celebrated novel in Iranian literature, the Blind Owl. Oneiric, Kafkaesque, surreal...you name it. It's stunningly beautiful in its lyricism and equally disturbing in its misogyny.
I found a great edition of the English and a mediocre one in Persian. I'm not familiar with the details of the textual history of the novel, but note that occasionally (for instance, at the very end!) there are whole paragraphs in Persian which are not present in English. If someone can find a more adequate or aesthetica

Morphology and Semantics of the Tanaina Verb
Author: J. M. Tenenbaum
Publisher: Columbia
Publication date: 1978
Number of pages: 264
Format / Quality: Rar'd Pdf
Size: 6 MB
Tanaina aka Dena'ina is another Athabascan language which interests me a lot. It's spoken in the Kenai peninsula of Alaska, with two major dialects. Unfortunately, it is moribund, with less than a 100 speakers. But that's ok, I always throw my lot in with the downtrodden.
This is the only dissertation about the language, to my knowledge.
I've worked so far with the writings of Peter Kalifornsky, but I don't have any other works by the linguist James Kari, who is the most important specialist. If anyone has more, please post, especially the dictionary or Dena'ina Sukdu'a, also by Tenenbaum.
The lady above is Fedosia Sacaloff.
