Cornish
Cornish is a P-gaelic language closely related
to Welsh and Breton (as opposed to the Q-gaelic languages, Irish and its regional dialects Scots Gaelic and Manx). I was taught that Cornish went extinct when its last monoglot speaker, Dolly
Pentreath, died in 1777. But this
site claims otherwise: it says that bilinguals with native knowledge of Cornish could still be found up until the late nineteenth
century, by which time a revival had begun.
-
Gothic
Most Gothic dictionaries are in German. This is
because of the preponderance of German scholarship in the development
of Indo-European philology. This English-Gothic dictionary has just
over 6000 headwords, which may not seem like a lot. But there is not
much Gothic extant.
-
Greek
A digitized version of Liddell & Scott
(1940), a very Victorian dictionary, but still the standard in the
English-speaking world. Configurable, so the Greek is transliterated or
not as you prefer. From Tufts University. The new reimplemented website is a positive joy to use, with clickable references to citations, with translations, most helpful to those of us with small Latin and less Greek.
-
Hindi Food Glossary
From Mamta's Kitchen. Covers ingredients, methods of preparation and dishes of North Indian cuisine.
-
Irish
A link page to a large number of specialized
vocabularies in Irish (librarianship, computing, parliamentary
reporting, etc). The link page itself is in Irish only (for which Google Translate offers a surprisingly good translation — but don't click the links in the translated page because it will try to translate them too!). It may help to know that Béarla
- Gaeilge means 'English - Irish' and foclóir means 'dictionary'.

Kwanzaa Glossary
Brief glossary of Swahili words adopted for
Kwanzaa, a non-religious African-American cultural holiday devised in
1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, and celebrated from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.
-
Latin
A digitized version of Lewis & Short
(1899), the standard Latin dictionary in the English-speaking world
until 1982, when it was supplanted by the Oxford Latin Dictionary. From
Tufts University. The site also has a morphology tool that will find a
headword given an inflected form, very useful for those with small
Latin and less Greek.
-
Old English
A free scanned and digitized edition of Bosworth & Toller, the
1898 classic that has yet to be supplanted, though scholars at the
University of Toronto have got as far as G with a modern dictionary, that is also available online, and to which you get 20 free accesses per year if you sign up for an account.
