Lost Language Day

[Akira Y. Yamamoto]

Dear Luisa:
    My message got lost somewhere and I decided to send it to you instead.
I hope this will reach you. Best, Akira

Dear Friends:
     I have been keeping up with the discussions on "Lost Language Day" and
I am happy that the idea is developing closer and closer to reality.
Please contact the following for their comments:
    Linguistic Society of America's Endangered Languages and Their
Preservation Committee: Scott DeLancey, Chair
<delancey at darkwing.uoregon.edu>
     UNESCO's Clearing House on Endangered Languages: Tasaku Tsunoda
<tsunoda at TOOYOO.L.U-tokyo.ac.jp>
    Since many of us, including myself, are off to fieldwork and will not
be able to participate in the on-going discussion regularly, please
consider further discussion beginning the end of the summer (when many of
our academic institutions begin to resume their work).  Best, Akira
