Hittite resources
I recently found some good Hittite resources online which I hope will be of use to some of you:
- Sumerian, Akkadian, & Mitannic -> Spanish glossary (If your Spanish, like mine, is better than your German)
- The Hittite Language Homepage -- the table of paradigms is quite handy
- Hittite - English lexicon (no Sumerograms or Akkadograms)
- The Hittite Homepage is of course the old standby

Hi. I am someone who is also interested in Linguistics and Indo-European and wanted to find out about what sources you are using to study Hittite. My german is not so good however...
We've been using a draft of Melchert & Hoffner's as-yet-unpublished grammar & lesson book and Tischler's Handworterbuch-- I don't read German, so I've been using a German-English dictionary as an intermediary for that one. The other book that I've found really useful is Sturtevant & Bechtel's Hittite Chrestomathy, which gives cuneiform, transliteration, translation, and commentary of some texts.
I know of the unpublished work by Melchert...I actually wrote to him almost 3 years ago to see if I could get a copy and he told me to wait until it was published. I was hoping it would not take so long. I have not yet found a copy of the "Hittite Chrestomathy". Thanks for the suggestions.
