Klaus Glashoff has initiated an experiment with online dictionary for spoken Sanskrit at http://spokensanskrit.de. He says, "the wordlist I began with is not optimal and has to be changed considerably. It is planned to introduce also small Sanskrit sentences into the dictionary. `Ancient' terms have to be deleted and a standard for the grammatical structure of the entries has to be imposed." (The project was initiated from the glossary available at http://sanskrit.gde.to/dict/.) Klaus invites "critical remarks and hints for improvements" and is looking for partners for improving the dictionary. Respond to his request at his site contact.
