Many Swadesh lists are micro-etched on the Rosetta Disk made by the Long Now's "Rosetta Project" - an effort to preserve and document as many languages as possible.

A few weeks ago I got curious about the phonological development of Rotokas and figured I'd see if any reconstruction could be done on the North Bougainville languages. The only documentation I could find for Ramopa and Askopan at all were Rosetta Project Swadesh lists on archive.org - talk about coverage!
