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.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I'm a UCSB graduate student working on a phonology paper involving 
Spanish loan words in Chamorro, specifically liquids going to ''t'' in codas. Is 
there any information, current research or other resources on Chamorro 
syllable structure, on liquids of loan words becoming ''t'' in the coda when 
nativized into Chamorro? Does this phenomenon exist in any other 
language--r/l from loan words going to t in codas when nativized?

Please send information to my email, and I will summarize and post what I 
receive to Linguist.

Thank you,

	I have noticed the recent outpour of articles on Nushu, described in the 
media as possibly being the world's only language only spoken by women. I 
have now numerous media articles and one or two scholarly publications, 
but I'd like to get a hold of some reliable studies on the topic, touching 
upon both the sociolinguistic aspects of a potentially gender-specific 
language and the linguistic aspects such as whether Nushu was strictly a 
writing system or whether it was also spoken.

I would be grateful for any information that might point me in the direction 
of more complete data on Nushu.
