ETHNOLOGUE: LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD--ONLINE

New from SIL International [Dallas, Texas, USA], is the electronic version of Ethnologue: Languages of the World. Everything that is in the 1272-page hardcover book (cost US$80) is available for free online. This includes articles about 6,912 living languages (number of speakers, region, alternate names, dialects, use, etc.) and links to entries in the SIL bibliography on the language. Everything except the maps and statistical summary tables, it seems. What a neat resource!
