Hi,

I am looking for good online resources for the etymologies of various languages - ANY languages.

If you know any good resource for a language, it would be great if you could please post the link here.

A very good online etymology resource for English, for instance, is that of http://www.etymonline.com/ .

Best,

Thomas Johansson
