I was concerned that by alphabetizing the entire list the list would become unmanageable. By breaking up the words by culture it makes it easier to browse through words if you don't know the specific term for which you are looking.
Hopefully other people will edit this so that this can be used as a study guide for the Finalterm Exam. Along with a Dates/People section ^^ |
