First of all, I AM NOT RELIGIOUS nor I am doing any preaching. Having cleared this up, I'd like to share with you guys this link:

http://www.inspirationalfilms.com/av/watch.html

I just came across this website purely by chance looking for a foreign language archive as I wanted to listen to different world languages. I think it is amazing. Think up of a language and I bet it will be there, ready for you to listen to. Isn't it amazing? Enjoy! :D

Very impressive archive.

Mezzofanti used the Lord's Prayer as a reference to learn languages and it would be interesting if this could be such a source.

It is a shame that it isn't also structured to provide the text. The Chomula sounds correct and I'm glad to see the Ladakhi but would have liked to see a readable element. Such effort and the focus on religion is such that it does not really motivate me, I'd watch it many times as a language source if it had been thought that way with a trascription, for example. As it is, I'm not likely to spend a lot of time.

But maybe a click here and there to listen to the lovely sound of certain languages.

Good find!

This really is an amazing resource.

I'm not a religious person at all, but since my grandfather was a pastor, the stories are certainly familiar enough to me. I can definitely find some use for this.

Very nice, but for German I'd rather recommend watching the dubbed versions of Religulous or The Life of Brian. The latter will even teach you a little Latin grammar.

In case others did not notice, there is also a children's version of the film, which I assume would use simpler language, besides children being the protaganists.

It's unfortunate more of the films aren't captioned, but from what I understand this is an ongoing project, so maybe they'll add more captioning in the future.

Thanks.
I am positively shocked by the amount of the languages.
Blackfoot? Zhuang?
Really cool.
