Learn Ancient Languages

Lexicity: dedicated to providing online study resources for ancient languages, claims to be “the first and only comprehensive index for ancient language resources on the internet.” With links to resources for 30 ancient languages from Akkadian to Ugaritic (a language discovered in 1928!), you can spelunk and meander and amble your way through dictionaries, grammar lessons, charts and aids, ancient texts, and other resources. As you’d expect, the site has ancient Greek and Latin, Hebrew and Arabic, Sanskrit and Sumerian. Sure, they’ve thrown in Old French and Gaulish, Old Irish and Old English, Old French and Old High German. But the “olds” don’t stop there, and if you want to find resources to brush up on your Church Slavonic, Hittite, or the Mayan language families, there’s something here for you.
