Language history in the West has a natural bias towards Classics (Greek and Latin) but philologists study the development of languages from any culture http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/american_journal_of_philology/ is a no-nonsense site for American Classicists, as is http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/CP/home.html while http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/MP/home.html brings the philology a little more up to date http://www.philology.ru/ is a tidily laid-out smart site about Philology, though in Russian, and for the really long-view, your search term needs to be 'language evolution', as in this set of links and each of links like these, also at http://www.isrl.uiuc.edu/amag/langev/, not to mention the conference pages, tend to bring together computing power and some Darwinian theory in a search for proto-languages, such as the famous Indo-European

calligraphy

Calligraphy is writing beautifully, and is one place where the hand, as opposed to the voice, makes itself felt in expression - the other being sign languages of course:
Handwritten advertising copy has gone rather out of fashion among European-language cultures since the 1950s, but many calligraphers in the West can still make a living, for example http://www.cecilia-letteringart.com/. Easy to forget then, that languages like Arabic, Chinese, and other Oriental writing systems, give calligraphers a much more important role (and much more expressive freedom, due to the nature of those writing systems) in bringing together the written word and the visual arts: http://www.chinapage.com/callig1.html http://www.connectedglobe.com/ohmori/intro1.html http://www.sakkal.com/ArtArabicCalligraphy.html http://www.islamicart.com/main/calligraphy/styles/deewani.html

musical notation

Part calligraphy, part alphabet, musical notation is still only beginning to arouse interest among historians of writing, and http://www.healingchants.com/musicscoreex.html has a lovely set of facsimile prints of mediaeval musical scores. One big question is that, once the idea of creating a notation for speech had spread across the world, or been rediscovered many times, why did the idea of creating a notation for music happen around the world so much later, perhaps a thousand years later?

mathematical linguistics
quicker-loading websites http://www.kb.nl/dutchess/17/46/ is a good start: no avoiding the academic flavour of this field http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~rclark/home.html is the homepage of a mathematical linguist from Pennsylvania, with some links, and http://www.xrefer.com/entry/572185 is a handy glossary entry with further links on the tidily-laid-out xrefer site	slower-loading websites
