With a little digging, one can easily find quite a selection of freely-available grammars on the web. Normally I just download these and dump them into my e-reader, but then if I want to direct someone else to a grammar, I have to go hunting again. It seemed useful to make a list.

I do not include Wikipedia pages in this list. Some languages have their phonologies and morphologies very well described there, but most articles are very weak on syntax.

The organization below is based on region rather than family. I have no particular attachment to this scheme, if someone has a more useful plan.

Africa

Middle-East and Caucasus

Northeast Caucasian

Central Asia and Siberia

Indo-European

South Asia

East and South-east Asia

Australia and Polynesia

North and Central America

Algonquin

Athabascan

Salishan

Uto-Aztecan

Other Families and Isolates

South America
