    Do you have questions for a Historical Linguist?
    I'm a specialist in the field of Historical and Comparative Linguists. I know the most about Germanic and Romance languages and Phonetics and Phonology. Included in that is the history of the English language. Does any one have questions on those topics and would like to ask?

    I can't say that I can do Sanskrit. I have a few texts on it, namely Teach yourself Sanskrit, and it's in The World's Major Languages, but my specialties with individual languages are Germanic and Romance languages. I can tell about Sanskrit, but I can't say I can translate into it. Old English perhaps, but not Sanskrit.

    Hi, NOhelp4u!

    Unfortunately, that search link that you posted leads to:

    Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
    I just wanted to let you know...

    I've tried to post search links previously, and that's the way that it always is.

    Thanks!

    Like I said, I don't really do much for Sanskrit save in comparison to the other Indo-European languages. But I am sure that it varies in pronunciation and spelling like every other ancient language, so be careful what tattoos you choose.
