Hi, Garry, 

How are you? It's been a long time :-) 

One of the major language problems that some of us have is how to order
polysynthetic languages. Athapascan has prefixes and embedded enclitics, so
sort issues are very complex. English has very few of these, and most of the
technological support is tightly coupled with English morphology.
