<div dir="ltr">Or if Lara Croft: Verb Raider isn't quite your style, the NSF's
"documenting endangered languages" program definitely funds this sort of
work. Community participation and materials which would be useful to the
community were seriously taken into account in my application for a very
similar type of project, judging by the reviewers comments. I made a big
deal of the fact that there are so few people with firsthand knowledge
of the practices described in in the texts. There is some information
about the grant at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ruf.rice.edu/%7Ebowern/">www.ruf.rice.edu/~bowern/</a> and I would be happy to
share parts of my original application with communities and linguists
who wish to apply for funding for similar projects. (Please contact me
off-list if you'd like a copy.)

<br>MJ- you need to find yourself a pop-culture
savvy and photogenic young linguist able to make televised and print
multimedia records of his heroic whirlwind globetrotting efforts to
personally save a sequence of endangered languages to be the public
face of Jaqaru. If good-enough looking, chatty and personable the
dollars should just fly in....
