Dear colleagues,
I have created a Facebook group, "Diccionario etimológico de la lenguaguanche / Guanche dictionary," which can be found here:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=115736588448763
This Facebook group focuses on the history of Guanche, an extinctlanguage of the Canary Islands, which includes findings developed withthe aid of my "Etymologic Dictionary of the Guanche Language." Thegroup is meant to expand these findings. I have been conducting ahistorical comparative study of Guanche to Indo-Iranian and Dravidianlanguages, such as Sanskrit and Tamil, respectively. To see moreabout the research involving Guanche, please refer to the descriptionin the Facebook group. Much of the writing in the group is in Spanish,but English comments are welcome.
Please feel free to join and to invite other colleagues to join thisFacebook group, if it is of your interest. Anybody, academic or not, withany interest in or knowledge of the Guanche language is invited toparticipate and contribute to this group. In fact, I would muchappreciate receiving help from experts in Sanskrit, Tamil, and BrahmiScript, in order to translate Guanche rock carving texts. I havedeciphered some on my own, but I am not absolutely sure of myabilities in this field.
Greetings from Spain,Carlos Calvet
