We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then  strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list.   This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

hello..i am new to this list and new to native languages.
 
i am a music researcher working in china exploring music and dance of
the qiang people in northern sichuan mountains. the qiang have an oral
language quite distinct from the dominant Han (mandarin) Chinese,
although most Qiang speak and write Chinese.
 
there even is a pinyin version of Qiang that is taught in the schools,
an experimental program for elementary school-age children, as well as
an adult education program in a local college for adult qiang.
 
i need tocome uptospeed quickly on basics of issues and concernsaround
orallanguages, as it is affecting my research (as youmight imagine) in
music and dance.  for instance, in two villages, less than 50km apart,
the "qiang" language spoken is drastically different:
                           "hing hua" in village #1 for "very good"
                           "lo gege se" in village #3 for same phrase
 
thanks thanks

Dear Linguists,
 
A colleague of mine who does not have an e-mail address has asked me
to post the following query on Linguist List:
 
"Does anybody have any suggestions for literature about dyslexic
children learning English as a second language (ESL), specifically
about spelling difficulties".
 
All responses are gratefully received, and may be sent to my address:
 
Unni.Berland at eng.uib.no
 
Thank you,
Unni Berland
