SOME SPANISH-ORIENTED GROUPS AND RESOURCES
HERE WE PRESENT a very short list of groups working on Spanish, with their respective URLs, especially the groups in Latin America. The members of the RITOS network (emilia.dc.fi.udc.es / Ritos2) are marked correspondingly. In addition, we give a few URLs of dictionaries or directories of Spanish resources, as well as sites of general linguistic interest.
