Foreign Language Dictionaries

We interrupt this summer's tour of libraries to bring you something I should have posted a long time ago. Earlier this month I posted twice on foreign language material and I completely forgot to mention FREELANG. I had been on this site extensively around 2000, but only have been checked back a few times since then and had almost forgotten about it. I was pleasantly surprised when I found a massive update which now includes 248 foreign language dictionaries from the most common (German, French, Spanish) to the utter obscure (Alsatian, Blackfoot, Faroese). Below is a list by language families of all the dictionaries on their site:
