I've been studying Hawaiian, and I've been analyzing and documenting a couple of now extinct Amerindian languages--Biloxi (Siouan) and Rumsien Ohlone (Penutian) in the hopes that the remaining members of these tribes may want to do revitalization at some point. (The Biloxi have already expressed some interest.) I currently live in the Silicon Valley, but next month I'll be moving to Kansas to attend the U of Kansas in the pursuit of a doctorate in Linguists and Anthropology. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I just started an anthropological-linguistics blog, by the way, at <A href="http://anthro-ling.blogspot.com">http://anthro-ling.blogspot.com</A>. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What languages are list members working on? I'm also a member of the Siouan List, since, as I said, I've gotten involved with Biloxi documentation and revitalization.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Dave</DIV><P> __________________________________________________<BR>Do You Yahoo!?<BR>Tired of spam?
