Whole Potter Set

Here they all are. The most recent one is the second row from the top, furthest to the left -- Catalan, brought to me by Ingma, the very generous significant other of a Spanish researcher by the name of Lalo Salmeron. My second most recent aquisition is the furthers to the right, the second row from the bottom -- Vietnamese, brought to me by Aaron Hart as he ventured across the world. I just finished a class in phonetics, the very specific diacritic system of the International Phonetic Alphabet, and Vietnamese uses what looks to me like a fantastically complicated accent system -- it must be a tonal language.
