Yes, I know that there are thousands of languages (wikipedia is working on 168 languages currently for their on-line wikinary). I will do what I personally can and IF others are willing to contribute, the task will be easier. With your education, Chris, I would have expected a "meteorite" word instead of criticism; perhaps I mis-read your enthusiasm? or are you indeed going to contribute to the 6,000+? Thanks Andi!
