Here’s the latest news from the world of Omniglot.

There’s a new writing system: Fox alphabet, which was used to write Fox, an Algonquian language spoken in parts of Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska in the USA.

There are new language pages about:

• Kyode (Gikyode), a North Guang language spoken in eastern Ghana.
• Emerillon (Teko), a Tupian language spoken in southern French Guiana.

On the Omniglot blog there’s a post about the word Asunto and related words in Finnish and other languages, and there’s the usual Language Quiz. See if you can guess what language this is:

Here’s a clue: this language is spoken in southern India.

The mystery language in last week’s language quiz was Fox / Meskwaki (Meshkwahkihaki), an Algonquian language spoken in parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Iowa in the USA.

There are new Celtiadur posts about words for Beaks and Snouts, the number Hundred and related things in Celtic languages.

Improved page: Fox language, and I added some code to the languages, phrases, numbers and constructed scripts index pages so that you can see which pages have been added recently.
