Free online Ancient Language Textbooks

THE AWOL BLOG: Open Access Ancient Language Textbooks, OERs, and Primers. If you want to teach yourself an ancient language, this is the list for you. There are online textbooks for Greek (many varieties), Hebrew, Latin, Sanskrit, Classical Armenian, Akkadian, Sumerian, Manichaean Sogdian, Mayan Hieroglyphics, Old Avestan, Old Persian, Kurdish, Ge'ez, Old Iranian, Ganadhari, Egyptian Demotic, Oscan, Tocharian, and Hieratic Middle Egyptian. I may have missed a few.

Anyway, pick one and go for it. Some will be easier than others!
