Hello all! The ladies over at the Translation Times blog had a nice idea recently – to post a list of favourite language blogs that we follow! They invited everyone to create a post entitled A ♥ for Language Blogs so we can all share our favourites. Here is a selection of mine:
Jabal Al Lughat: Excellent blog by Dr. Lameen Souag about all things linguistic when it comes to Arabic and Berber. I can’t always understand the finer points, but his posts are fascinating!
Language Hat: A treasure trove of language discussions. ‘Hat’ himself speaks about 13 different languages – incredible!
ALTalk: This is the American Literary Translators Association blog. Its a great resource for calls for submissions, competitions, interesting links and anything else that literary translators might be interested in!
MA Translation Studies News: Very regularly updated and a hive of information for translation students run by Carol O’Sullivan at the University of Portsmouth. Excellent resource.
Arabic Literature (in English): Last but not least, M. Lynx Qualey’s blog about all things to do with Arabic literature. It is my go-to blog each day to see what has been happening in the world of Arabic literature in translation. I’d be lost without it!
I’m looking forward to seeing what language blogs others follow!
Thanks, Katherine! Very useful.
Have you checked out Susan Bernofsky’s blog, Translationista? http://translationista.blogspot.com/
And I always look at Michael’s thoughts in the morning.

Thanks M.! I’ll be adding them to my list!
Hi Katherine,
Thanks for popping by my blog and leaving me the link to yours! I’m so glad to have found it and added it to my Reader.
There’s definitely some overlap here as I follow ALTAtalk, too, as well as the two that your M mentioned in a comment. I am most certainly going to check out the Arabic Literature blog — it’s an area I’m rather ignorant of but look forward to learning more!
Hi Lisa! Thanks for your comment – it’s been great learning about new blogs to follow!
Hi there,
I like your list – and it’s nice to meet your blog
. Here’s the top 10 I posted a couple of days ago (looking at conference interpreting blogs): http://theinterpreterdiaries.com/2011/06/30/a-%E2%99%A5-for-language-blogs/
