As you might have guessed from looking around, I really enjoy studying foreign languages. They're really probably my biggest hobby.
In any event, here are a number of pages related to languages, linguistics (or semiotics), or to translation in general. Note that because I have chosen to include indices along with specific resources, many of the actual resources can be found rather easily through the indices. In spite of that, I don't plan on changing this "organization".
I suppose that I should also note that a couple of these references are duplicated elsewhere.
Jouyou Dojo, a site for
learning Kanji.
Japanese - English
Dictionary Server, or here in
Japan.
Jeffrey's
Kanji Lookup
The Translators Home Page: A good
general reference about translation and translators.
List of Dictionaries;

Here is a page dealing with
linguistics in general. It has links to some interesting pages, such as this early-18th
century chart of hiragana and katakana.
It also has a link to a cool page
with the numbers from one to ten in about 2000 languages.

foreign-language web pages on a PC. Never tried their products myself, but I have heard

And for a wonderful multilingual, translating dictionary, check out the LOGOS.
I've heard that this site
is really good for learning Japanese.
And if you're interested in studying Chinese, Japanese, or Indonesian, take a look at the FALCON program at Cornell University.
Here are a few very general resources:
I'm now looking into classical languages, particularly the more obscure ones. Here are some pages to a few of them:
