Language Help
A free home for the serious study of ancient languages.
The project
The Language Help Project
The Language Help Project is a series of free, openly accessible websites supporting the study of ancient languages. Learners are best served by transparent access to grammars, dictionaries, native grammatical traditions and annotated texts, with textual layers kept distinct and analyses traceable to their sources.
The first site, Sanskrit Help, opened in 2026. Further sites are in preparation. The project aims to lower the barrier to serious philological work where teaching communities are small, and to make public-domain scholarship usable as well as available.
Sources and method
Study with the sources
Reference works, texts and tools belong together when the evidence behind each reading remains visible.
Reference works
Grammars and lexica sit beside paradigms and texts, with editions and rights identified for each resource.
Annotated reading
Where the evidence allows it, readers connect words and passages to morphology, meanings and their supporting sources.
Transparent tools
Parsers and other tools expose their sources and limits. An uncertain or undeciphered reading is not made to look certain.
The long view
A starting point for philology
The project aims, in time, to give every attested ancient language with a published grammar and lexicon a free, source-aware starting point. Questions, corrections and suggestions are welcome.
Keep the project open
Support Language Help
Free access to source-aware lessons, reference works and study tools depends on sustained editorial work. If the project helps your study, you can support its development.
