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.

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing an article on possible historical links between personal
pronouns of the languages Asia and the Pacific, and gathering data on the
reconstructed proto-language personal pronoun forms. 

I would appreciate to have an advice on where I can find information on the
two points:

1. Is there any clue on the reconstruction of the Common Proto-Australian
personal pronouns? I found some Pama-Nyungan reconstructions, but not
Proto-Australian.

2. The same for Austronesian: though some scholars give Proto-Mon-Khmer
pronouns, but have the Proto-Austroasiatic personal pronouns been
reconstructed?

I will be obliged for any advice on the topic.
