While updating my References page, http://maxqnz.com/References.html, I found that my Indo-European dictionaries link was dead. Scouting around for it, I found a nice-looking replacement, with an extremely unwieldy URL which I won't post here. I also found this cool graphic http://www.bartleby.com/61/indoeuro.html, that seemed very apt, almost Zoroastrian somehow. I'm not sure if Karen Chung's site has been mentioned here before, but she has some very good links on her page as well.

Something I have been looking for is a collection of basic grammars. Something like the grammar précis found in the back of a college level Latin textbook, but for a wide-ranging group of languages with individual sections for each language.

that is a great graphic, sjmaxqrstuv. I wonder what Edward Tufte would have to say about it?  <edit> actually, I just asked him! http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a?topic_id=1

Yeah! That's the one on the inside back cover of the brick-and-mortar AHD.

Well, Faldage, I haven't had time to look through them all, but I think that Karen Chung's Links might be a good place to start looking. She has a lot of interesting links there.

We had a link to a site that had numerous writing systems including alphabets of two basic varieties, syllabaries and even ideographic systems. I seem to have lost it here at work with a recent machine replacement. Might have it at home, though.

Is this it, Faldage? If so, Max's already got it: http://www.omniglot.com/For any of y'all interested in things orthographic, this is a cool site.

Faldage, might that be the omniglot.com site, which is on my list?
edit The above mantling is a result of clicking on the link in the reply notification email, which takes one straight to the specific post, and doesn't show the others around it. Lo siento beaucoup, ASp.

the omniglot.com site
Might that be the same one noted by the lovely AnnaS approximately an hour ago?
You did get any pâté at the Piggly-Wiggly, my ASp?
Dang, pipped again!
