As I mentioned in the Africa subforum, perhaps there could be someone to teach Canadian French, or someone who could teach the variants of Portuguese and Spanish that exist in South America. I know that Argentinian Spanish is somewhat more extricated from the other dialects of Spanish, so it could be quite helpful to have someone from Argentina to help us out.
Or, maybe someone is well-versed in the ancient Mayan or Aztec languages. That could be cool to learn as well, in my opinion. As always, teachers in any language, however small (or nonexistent) the population of speakers, are welcome!

As always, teachers in any language, however small (or nonexistent) the population of speakers, are welcome! Also, there are a few dialects of French spoken in America. For example, Cajun French and French spoken in France are pretty different! The Cajun French community is rather "closed off," so some words are different. They don't come up with new words. For example, the words for "car" are different. The word in Cajun French for "car" is the same word used for a horse-drawn carriage (if I remember correctly). The word for "car" in French is "voiture". I can't remember what the Cajun French word is, but I remember that it's different.

As always, teachers in any language, however small (or nonexistent) the population of speakers, are welcome! It's certainly of interest for people if they want to learn a specific dialect. But dialects usually differ based on words used and pronunciation. Unless there is a huge difference between the dialects grammatically, I think they should be taught in the same lesson. The differences can just be taught long with it. If some people need help with Canadian French, I can help. smile

If there is any interest in Indian languages, I'm part Indian and studied a few different ones.

There is indeed interest in them! Which languages have you studied?

By chance, have you heard of one called "Quinault"?

They're from the northwest, in Washington, to be precise. I am allegedly part Quinault, but the only thing that I retain from them is my really dark hair and eye color; I have no facial features or anything else that is indicative of them.
I've been looking all over for resources on the language they used, but it seems to be nonexistent in the modern day. It makes me sad. sad

I was just thinking, should there be a subforum for constructed languages? Like Esperanto, or Interlingua, or even something like Klingon or Elvish? You never know when you'll have someone come along who has experience in one of those. Just food for thought smile

That could be interesting! Perhaps a sort of "fantasy language" thread or something. We would definitely have to find a way to advertise that, because I doubt a lot of people would be looking around the language/linguistic guilds here for that. =P
All that aside, I want more Spanish lessons, mister! Bark!

They're so much fun biggrin But Elvish and Klingon are very complicated...anyway. It's great to be able to say random things to people in languages from TV shows or books.
(Oh, and it completely slipped my mind earlier, but your avatar is the best thing ever XD)
