I haven't looked through these books yet, but I'm wondering if other people have. Monro's grammar book has about 400 something pages... I think it's a reference grammar book, but I don't know...

Does anyone know of a book that discusses, compares and contrasts the sounds (i.e. phonologies) of the different lanugages of the world? I've already got one on phonetics, and am teaching myself the basic sounds, but I'd like to see how these sounds are put together into phonetic systems in lots of other languages (and what effects this creates in the language, such as "ugliness" or "fluidity"), possibly with a view to making my own ...

i assume that this one is very known... i have decided to post it any way.

Anywho, i'm attempting to ...

I've often thought these conspiracy theories to be a load of junk, but in the last few years I've started to change my mind. Some are of course rubbish, but there is a bit or sometimes even more than just a bit of truth in them.

While we're on the topic, does anyone know if there has ever been made a whole cd of latin music? I don't want kids songs but real songs... stories, prayers, whatever... I just like listening to it. I've got a few gregorian chants but I'm looking for something less choral. My favourites are the latin prayers from ...

I recently bought on ebay an authentic, Ancient Greek silver drachma coin (c. 340 BC) on ebay. On one side you have the head of the goddess Hera with her hair rolled up, and on the other side an eagle holding a serpent in its talons. I have to admit, it wasn't my intention to purchase anything, I was just browsing; but, when I happen to chance on it, I just couldn't resist. I thought ...
