1. The following sections may have specifically indexed listings for that language:
2. The following two sections present links to multi-language web sites that may have information on your language of interest. The Gleaner's Project lists most of these multi-language web sites only in these two sections. You should take take a look at them.

3. Remember that languages are known by different names and that language names don't always match country names. (Let me restate that: most language names make no reference to the countries they are spoken in; in addition, though you may know a language by some name -- say, X -- it is usually a mistake to assume either that the native name bears any resemblance to that name, or that the language has a similar name in other languages. For an example, see here.)
a. Some languages are listed here under more than one name. For instance, White Russian, Byelorussian, and Belarussian or Lett, Lettish, and Latvian or Little Russian, Ruthenian and Ukrainian. The point is to help you find useful information as quickly as possible, without making judgements about the appropriateness of one name or the other.
b. Some languages, like Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian are grouped together because though the people who speak them often consider them separate languages, they are in fact very close dialects with high levels of mutual comprehension. The differences between them are more in variant pronunciation and variant vocabularies than in variant grammar -- like the differences between British English and American English.
c. A comparative list of language names, placenames, and ethnic names will eventually be added to the Gleaner's Project. Such a page would answer questions like:
What is the French language called --
d. A handful of languages may also be listed by their native names as a courtesy to those who've been encountering these names on the internet. For instance, many people would like to know what languages Brezhoneg, Magyar, Suomi, and Shqip are.
If your browser's settings do not offer specific "JavaScript" choices, then you may need to tinker with whatever "Script", "Scripting", "Script debugging", or "ActiveX", settings that may be available on your browser. (Some browsers even seem to put JavaScript and Java settings together, so you may have to change "Java" settings to make JavaScript work. )
In addition, some web pages are made / created / coded / written so that they work only with Netscape or only with Internet Explorer. So you may need to try both of these browsers before you are able to view some web pages correctly.
