Dear linguists, 

I have a student whose BA dissertation explores whether expert ratings can be
used to estimate linguistic complexity. He has made a brief questionnaire that
asks linguists to rate the complexity of aspects of the language that they are
an expert in as well as of English. I have posted information about his study
on Linguist List at the beginning of the month, and he has quite a few
responses. But very few responses are from experts of endangered or
understudied languages. It would be wonderful to get responses for as many
different languages as possible - especially those that are endangered or
understudied. So if you are an expert in an endangered or understudied
language, please consider participating.

Here is the link to the study: https://goo.gl/forms/3PX19mFy759VfIVK2 

Thank you in advance to all who are willing to participate! 

Kind regards,
