From: Alan D Corre Subject: NEW WEBSITE: Lingua Franca
I am pleased to announce the fourth edition of the Lingua Franca website. Lingua Franca was a trade language which existed around the mediterranean for centuries, and disappeared around 1900. Significant items were extracted from Tunisian Judeo-Arabic sources, and the language was widely used by Jews.
The fourth edition includes various corrections and new items:
* Transcript of a lecture by Prof. Roberto Rossetti on LF with valuable bibliographical appendices.
* An acrobat version of the main glossary which produces an excellent printable text.
* A set of discussions on LF with participants all over the world.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched,
every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense,
theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those
who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending
the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
