If you ever find yourself in Paris or New York and try to order a pizza in Latin or Aramaic, chances are nobody will understand you. But there's something undeniably charming about learning ancient languages. And if that's what you're after, Lexicity makes it easy: it's a vast library of resources dedicated to the study of ancient tongues.
Lexicity provides educational resources for more than 30 ancient languages, including Akkadian, Arabic, Aramaic, Church Slavonic, Coptic, Egyptian, Elamite, Ethiopic, Etruscan, Gaulish, Georgian, Gothic, Greek, Hebrew, Hittite, Latin, Mayan languages, Old Chinese, Old English, Old French, Old Frisian, Old High German, Old Irish, Old Norse, Old Persian, Old Turkic, Sanskrit, Sumerian, Syriac, and Ugaritic.
On the website you'll find dictionaries, grammar tools, tables, study aids, textbooks, and other resources crucial for each language. For instance, the Egyptian section includes information about mythology, culture, and even current museums, among much more.
Each language has its own dedicated panel, which not only helps you learn the ancient tongue but also provides external links to immerse yourself in its culture and civilization.
The website is truly comprehensive and fascinating, especially for students or professors of anthropology.
But we want to give you this advice: if you ever come across a time-space machine, don't choose to travel to the past. You can experience the past through museums and libraries. Instead, travel to the future—then this website will be of no use to you at all. Unless retro becomes fashionable again!
Lexicity is a free website and works on all web browsers.
