Amharic to Zulu

[muckefuck]

I ended up doing an on-the-fly inventory of my language-learning titles last night and I've decided I need to buy books on Quechua and Xhosa so I can have all 26 letters of the alphabet covered.

Would anyone be interested in a princeofcairoenesque eliptony core sample of them? I've got enough for over a year of weekly updates.

sure, I'd love to see it; partly because I think it would be a good way of accessing the question of what you look for in such a text (and by extension, what it is you're looking for more generally, as a linguist).

Go for it

Hey, that's my shtick! Why not learn Quiche instead...?

Actually, the problem I've always had with Quechua is finding good learning materials. The best textbook I've found is Clotoaldo Soto Ruiz's for Ayacucho Quechua. (It has a set of tapes, too, but those I had to get in Peru.)

Surely you should be buying books so you could cover all 33 letters of the Georgian alphabet, or all 41 letters of the Glagolitic alphabet, or all 58 letters of the Hindi alphabet.
