- tlb 11y ago70% (26/37) of those are Indo-European (I think). No Amerindian, Polynesian, or Austronesian languages represented.
- jcranmer 11y agoIndonesian is an Austronesian language. Actually, more important is the lack of Niger-Congo languages--these are the most numerous by number.
- BossHogg 11y agoNor a single indigenous African language which I find particularly strange given Africa's somewhat central (/s) role in human developmental history.

- canjobear 11y agoI'd love to have more interesting languages in the sample. If you speak such a language, and you are willing to parse ~2000 sentences for me, get in touch :)
- protomyth 11y agoDid you approach any of the Native Americans tribes? The Navajo in particular are very up on promoting their language (they even translated Star Wars).
- lisivka 11y agoRussian language is artificial language: it is created by Mikhail Lomonosov. It is based on language used in Russian (at Kiev Rus`) churches (so it have "Russian" in it name), which, in turn, is created by two Greeks: Cyril and Methodius using Greek alphabet and South Slavic language. It is better to use natural Slavic language, such as Polish or Ukrainian.
