The headline grabbing names are almost certainly gone in Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Arabic, but there is still some good stuff out there.

Apart from English, I am not fluent in anything but French, where I a have invested absolutely nothing. Paradoxically, probably the easiest language to speculate in is Chinese, but there are a lack of analysis tools at the moment. There are good tools for Japanese and Russian. Arabic is important but there are a lot of pitfalls so I woud not start there.

There are still plenty of opportunities in Thai, but what the get all the bits above when you cut and paste, those are vowels.

Indian sub-continent is really still wide open, although most of the top words will have gone in Hindi, there is still Urdu, Bangla, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Gujarati and Marathi.

First port of call should be Wikipedia.org where you can learn quite a lot of useful background information on languages before you get going.

If you have a bigger budget, it might be worth having a look at what is for sale in the Forum. Might be more expensive than new regging but the quality is generally higher. If the Old Pros are bidding then you know your on the right tracks. You won't see these prices again. New regged domains are likely to go up thousands of times. Secondary market sill potential for x100 I would think!

Yea most of the drops today were junk ;-(

Since there was a fake starbucks in china you can pretty much pick up ford.net in russian etc in the drop two days ago and set up shop(jk but some speculator thought it was cool).
