Subject: Language Resources and Tools on LINGUIST

Dear LINGUIST subscribers,

Language resources and tools form a good part of the LINGUIST service
(http://linguistlist.org/langres/index.html).  It provides information on
languages, language families, and links to many website which provide language
related information.

Another important facility is the Text and Computer Tools
(http://linguistlist.org/tools/index.html) which has links to many language
related tools and test manipulation tools for different languages. These links
are provided by the developers of the tools, which help our subscribers to find
easy access to the right tools when needed.

The language search facility
(http://linguistlist.org/forms/langs/find-a-language-or-family.html) searches
our database with more that 7000 languages which have over 47,000 language and
their alternate names. These languages include both extinct and nearly extinct
languages too. The system provides detailed information about each language and
language families and also constructed languages. It also provides links to
other linguistics related sites like Ethnologue where the users can find more
information about the language or language family.

The Text and computer tools section contains links to websites where language
specific tools can be accessed. It also provides a facility where users can put
in links to their own tools that can be used by the linguistic community.

These facilities provided by LINGUIST help users find important information
about languages with ease. Links to dictionaries, writing systems, software,
fonts etc. are some of the available information and tools about languages that
can be found on the LINGUIST service.

This service is only available because of the continued support given by our
subscribers over years. Only this makes the collection of all this information
possible.

We solely keep the services running by your donations. Join us in keeping these
services going and alive. Please go now to donate at
http://www.linguistlist.org/donation.html, for which we are very grateful and
appreciate your support.

Many thanks,

Prashant Nagaraja

Subject: How to donate...

This Year the LINGUIST List hope to raise $48,867. This money will go to help
keep the List running, by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU
Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST,
without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your
company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
