We proudly announce the release of LingPy 2.5. LingPy is a Python library for
quantitative tasks in historical linguistics and dialectology, providing
state-of-the-art implementations of algorithms for phonetic alignment,
automatic cognate detection, and phylogenetic reconstruction. LingPy-2.5
offers a variety of new and interesting features, including:

- Enhanced documentation (see http://lingpy.org)
- Initial approaches for partial cognate detection
- Full support for the three major platforms in Python3 and Python2
- Initial implementation of a command-line interface

You can download the stable version of LingPy-2.5 at:

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

donate by check, money order, PayPal or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
