Two questions! :)
1) I'm looking for an online lexicon of neolatin and have not been able to find anything useful. Any ideas?
2) Does anyone have "Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency: Phrasebook and Dictionary" by John Traupman? I'm wondering whether it would have some of the vocab that I'm looking for. What all does it cover? Does it include slang, profanities, technological terms, etc?

Re: neolatin and converational latin
It has XXIV chapters, each consisting of three model conversations and a section of "topical vocabulary." These are followed by a final chapter on grammar, four appendices, and a "general vocabulary" section.klewlis wrote:Two questions!

I've only gone through the first XII chapters so far, as this is as far as the companion audio tape goes. I've noticed no profanity at all. Chapter XI covers "Useful Colloquial Expressions," is that considered slang? There doesn't seem to be much in the way of technological terms. It has words for "electrician" and "photographer" but not "computer" or "programmer!"
