Languages

Linguist (in the academic sense). So I study lots of languages, and the Babel list over there is pretty arbitrary. I'd prefer to lower some of those higher numbers down half a point just to be on the safe side, with fr-2.5 a bit above the others, but the 3-2-1 division roughly reflects something. Also ja-1 but only in romanization.

After recent house moves I got rid of lots of books on languages I knew I would never get anywhere with. So now I have books (mostly more than one) on:

Old English, Middle English, English, German, Dutch, Old Norse, Icelandic, Swedish
Latin, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish
Ancient Greek, Modern Greek
Latvian, Lithuanian; Czech, Polish, Russian
Welsh; Albanian; Persian
(Standard) Arabic, (Biblical) Hebrew, Ancient Egyptian, Somali
Finnish, Hungarian
Basque; Georgian; Turkish; Japanese; Chinese; Malay/Indonesian; Swahili; Bidyara
Esperanto

I have done classes (school, university or evening) in Ancient Egyptian, Arabic, Basque, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Malay/Indonesian, Old English, Old Norse, and Syriac.

At some point in my life I have owned books on Akkadian, Amharic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Casiguran Dumagat, Chechen, Danish, Estonian, Fulani, Hausa, Irish, Klingon, Korean, Maltese, Maori, Mongolian, Norwegian, Punjabi, Quechua, Romani, Romanian, Samoan, Sanskrit, Serbo-Croatian, Shona, Sumerian, Tamil, Thai, Urdu, Vietnamese, Yoruba, and possibly Balinese, Chagatay, Tibetan, and Xhosa (I forget). All right, a few of them were just those tourist phrase books, I admit that freely.

Etymology

From hiztegilari (“lexicographer”) < hiztegi (“dictionary”) + -lari (“(agent suffix)”)

I have no particular expertise in Basque (or any other of these languages), but I do own Larry Trask's history of it, and did evening classes with a native speaker. I haven't created an entry for the word hiztegilari because I don't know whether it's in live use or just a dictionary word. Lately (late 2024) I have been editing a lot of Basque: I compare my books, my notes, the two on-line dictionaries, maybe an image search, and only add items where I am reasonably confident I have it right; I am not out for large numbers.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /is̻tegiʎaɾi/ (in proper Basque)
IPA^(key): /ɪsˌtegiˈlɑːri/ (in running English)
