Boy, I hope I'm posting in the right area.
I'm a graduate student in a tough Phonetics class. Our big project is to do a phonetic analysis of an uncommon language that we know nothing about. I waited too long to think about it and, of course, a lot of languages are already taken. Below is the list of languages taken. I'm begging all my fellow language lovers out there that if you know a language not on the list and wouldn't mind a phonetic transcription done on it to please help me out and e-mail me! *_* It really help me out a lot and I think it could be fun to learn about a new language. Languages I can't use are: Amharic Arabic Bengali Bulgarian Burmese Chinese (Cantonese) Chinese (Mandarin) Dari Dutch Farsi (Persian) French Gaelic German Hindi Hungarian Indonesian Italian Japanese Korean Marathi Mizetco bajo Polish Portuguese Punjabi Russian Serbian Spanish (S. America) Spanish (Spain) Swahili or Nama Tagalog Taiwanese Thai Turkish Urdu Uzbek Vietnamese Yoruba THANK YOU 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Danish is very interesting phonetically. I always have to laugh when I hear it (no offense intended..)

Any Caucasian language would be very interesting, Georgian, Abkhaz, Mingrelian for instance, though finding native speakers might be difficult depending on where you live.
Armenian, Navajo, Apache, Basque? I think doing it for a little-known minority language in danger of extinction would be more productive and nobler, in a sense. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I could help you with Catalan, if you want. I think it could be interesting, as I love Phonetics, I am on holidays and have too much spare time!

Lao is virtually identical to Thai phonetically, it just has a slightly different vocab. So liaising with the person doing
Thai would enable you to catch up quite quickly. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
