<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear colleagues, we'd be happy to work
together on a joint grant or a joint project, on any world language.
There are many languages of the world which still need their investigation.
I mean first of all, the frequency of occurrence of their phonemes.We have fed
in our computer 111 world languages. I wonder if I should feed in my
computer Fulani or Maninka, i.e. two African languages. Or may be, their
corpora have already been fed in the computer. What can you advise? I
wanted to compute the phonemic frequencies of Hausa, but I failed to find some
Hausa text in the electronic form. I've got no Hausa text. I wonder if there is
the Hausa electronic Bible? Or I should drop my Hausa project.I can take some
other language instead. My dream is to compute the phonemic frequencies of
the 6000 world languages and dialects. It is very interesting to see what sound
picture each language creates. I wish we could establish an international team
of linguists to study the frequencies of phonemic occurrences in world
languages. Please, use my correct e-mail address, which is <A

hearing from you soon to <A
