Far out, this is fantastic!
If only I was smitten by a language as rich in terms of recorded history with a vibrant and diverse speech community as Arabic rather than a language with no written history and as few as 6 remaining speakers.

Oh well, to each their own. And besides, I love what I do!

Great find! Those papyri are really hard to read - they couldn't be bothered with dots most of the time.

I second all previous comments. Thanks a lot, Steve.
BTW, did anyone else start the online course?
Dang it, too bad I'm not teaching anymore, it would have made a great final year course...
