The Ask A Linguist Web site is a service to which you can submit a question dealing with language or linguistics to a panel of linguists. It is provided by The Linguist List, an Internet network for professional linguists that includes faculty members from Oxford University, the University of Arizona, and the University of Michigan.

While users can submit any type of question dealing with language they choose, a section of the site provides answers to frequently asked questions, with a particularly thorough section devoted to Arabic. Previous questions are archived on the site, with message threads dating back to May 1997. Recent message threads on the Ask A Linguist Web site include "Origin of the Norwegian Language," "Is language innate?" and "Linguistics and literature." Equally helpful is the ability to search the entire message archive in a variety of fashions, including complex queries.
