Dear Lowlanders,

Yesterday, in my laudatio of Ole Stig Andersen's radio program about Scotland's
language situation I wrote the following among other things:

>  It
> was a marvelous half hour or so of listening.

Actually, as Ole Stig had mentioned, it is more like *one* hour.  Time flies
when you are having fun.

On to another topic!  I received an announcement and am passing it on to you.  I
visited the site briefly, and my Netscape program gave out after a few seconds.
Hopefully this had nothing to do with the site's Java script.

Best regards,

Reinhard/Ron

                Please could the following announcement be distributed to
members of
                the LOWLANDS-L mailing list:

                The Linguasphere Observatory is a research network devoted to
the
                classification of the world's languages and dialects, the study
and
                promotion of multilingualism and the exploration of our global
                linguistic
                environment. The Linguasphere website (www.linguasphere.org)
currently
                contains extracts from the forthcoming Linguasphere Register of
the
                World's
                Languages and Speech Communities, including:

                'AUSWANDERUNGS-DEUTSCH' or 'expatriate' idioms of German

                The observatory would be very grateful to receive comments from
                linguists on
                the extracts, which can be viewed and downloaded (together with
an
                explanation of the methodology used entitled Guide to Extracts)
-by
                selecting the Download Extracts button on the homepage.  Any
scientific
                support  will of course be fully acknowledged.
