Tower of Babel

[kutsuwamushi.livejournal.com]

Many of you have probably already seen omniglot.com, which is a website that showcases as many writing systems as it can. In its Tower of Babel section, it has many translations of the Babel passage from the Bible, including several Slavic languages. It's fun to compare them.

Here's the Russian page; compare it with Ukrainian, and then jump west to Polish. Neat-o. And check out the Serbian, Czech, and Slovak translations too.

(I should add that I've occasionally noticed mistakes or outdated information on the website, but the webmaster appreciates any corrections or additional information you send his way and is quick to make changes.)

Heh, that's neat. They even have it in Klingon.
