Introduction

If you can't tell by now, I like languages, and I like listing things. So here's a list of some more language things. Or in particular, dictionaries, grammars, and coursebooks, arranged by which ever language is not English, or the primary language if there are multiple non-English languages.

Languages Represented

A count of languages used throughout the books, even if non-primary. For example, a K'iche' to Spanish dictionary will be listed below under K'iche', as it the primary language of the text, but also be counted here under Spanish. If a book contains multiple languages (ex. a 7 way dictionary), it will be listed once under "multiple languages"

Languages

There are two types of tags, those for the languages of the book and those for the type of book.

language A → language B. The text is meant to be used by speakers of B, looking to understand language A.
{book type}. This lists the type of book, such as a dictionary, a coursebook, or something else. In rare cases, there may be multiple types listed, if the book can function as more than one type.

With the current exception of Indo-European, all languages are grouped under their primary language family. Once the language family gets too crowded (as it has with Indo-European books), they will be subdivided.

Deaccessioned Texts

Collections tend to grow without commesurate growth of physical space. At a certain point, what is a collection if it must be in a box in the basement to count as part of a collection? My goal is to have works that I reference, use, and appreciate – perhaps not daily, but enough that I still know what's on my bookshelves. As the years have gone on, I have found that there are some reference works that simply haven't been opened since I acquired them (often more than 10 years ago!). In the interest of making room for more actively used texts and keeping the collection fresh, I have deaccessioned some texts, which you will find below. Often, these books, besides being unused, do not fit well into any of the broad themes of my collecting.
