Thanks to Gavin O Se for posting info on the German, Dutch, &
Norwegian spelling reforms. I know that there was also a French
spelling reform in 1990, but I have no information on this -- as I
learned French sometime before 1990, I would like to have this
information.
 
Does anyone know where to find it? (The Alliance Francaise gave me
some links, but not one of them actually worked.)
 
 
Yours for better letters,

Subject:  Q: fricative --> stop
 
 
I'm looking for languages where a fricative goes to a stop in the
syllable final position. One fairly well-known case is found in Korean
in which /s/, for example, is pronounced as [t] (unreleased) in the
syllable coda.
 
      /os/ --> [ot] 'clothes' *[os]
      /os-kwa/ --> [otk'wa] 'clothes and' *[oskwa]
 
If you know of any languages that show similar alternation, please let
me know. Especially, I'm interested in the cases where a bilabial or a
velar fricative goes to a stop with the same place of articulation.
Any references will be greatly appreciated.  I'll post a summary.

I am looking for someone who speaks Ponapean.  I need to have a
sentence translated.  If you know what, "I poakpoake iuhk" means or
know someone who does please Email me at CWatersH2O at aol.com.  I am
desperate to have this translated.  I have been searching for weeks.
Thanks you.  Cathy
