from M</title></head><body>
<div>FYI - Celtic-T has published figures for Celtic language
enrollment from the MLA survey of higher education language
enrollments in the U.S.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>However, I do wonder if these figures take into account that some
language courses are only offered every 2-3 years. That might explain
some discrepancies.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Cheers</div>
