Linguistics: Websites

An encyclopedic reference work that catalogs the more than 6,900 known languages in the world.

Comprehensive reference information for the world's languages, especially the lesser known languages.

The purpose of the Language Testing Resources web site has always been to act as a reference guide to language testing related resources on the Internet by providing a history of, and links to, language testing related information, including publications that are freely available on other domains. However, it's purpose has broadened over the years. Now, resources on language testing, such as articles, features, videos and audio, are made freely available for language teachers, language testers, and students of language testing, applied linguistics, and languages. Teachers of language testing are encouraged use the resources on this site in their own courses, but are requested to establish links to this site and not copy materials onto other domains.

Intended for use by students, teachers, and anyone interested in learning about the linguistic and cultural composition of the United States
