<BR><FONT SIZE=4 FACE="Arial">Many speakers of Malay or Indonesian are bilinguals who are also fluent in a regional or local language. These languages may be considered ‘minority’ languages in the sense that they are not spoken nationwide. Many of these languages are endangered. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=4 FACE="Arial">The Workshop on the Minority languages in the Malay/Indonesian speaking world invites papers concerned with minority languages that are spoken in Malay/Indonesian speaking countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, southern Thailand). These languages may be Austronesian, belong to a Papuan family, or be Austroasiatic. Submissions relating to the minority languages of East Timor are also invited because of their geographical location.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=4 FACE="Arial">Papers may be in any of the subfields of linguistics, and may represent variegated approaches and diverse theoretical persuasions. Presentations at the Workshop on the Minority languages are to be delivered in English. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=4 FACE="Arial">Persons wishing to present a paper at the workshop are invited to submit a one-page abstract in electronic form (preferably pdf, but MsWord is also acceptable) to Marian Klamer at the following address: </FONT></P>
