Subject: Resources

Folks,

Are any of you willing to write brief (and I *mean* brief) introductory
blurbs for Afrikaans, Zeelandic and English for "Lowlands Talk," an
online series some of us are currently working on?

"Sub-blurb" manuscripts are also welcome.  These would be subordinate
blurbs dealing with specific dialects, aspects or contacts of a Lowlands
language that has a main blurb.

We are also still looking for brief introductions to various
Lowlands-based or -influenced contact languages, such as various pidgins
and creoles (e.g., Tok Pisin, Vlaaitaal, Oorlams, Tsotsitaal, Berbice,
Pijin, Petjoh, Virgin Island Creole, Bislama, Hawai'i Creole, Australian
Kriol, China Coast Pidgin, Samamá English), or language varieties with
Lowlandic substrates (e.g., Missingsch, Fryslân Stedsk).

We expect *basic* and accurate information. Blurbs should be written in
generally understandable style (i.e., not highly "academic") and also in
as timeless a way as possible (to avoid having to update specific
information that is likely to change).

You do not have to write in English.  Manuscripts in Dutch, Afrikaans,
German, French, Spanish, Portuguese or Russian are almost as welcome.

We also still need people willing to help with translating, especially
into French, Spanish and Portuguese.

If you are willing to help, please write to me at sassisch at yahoo.com or
at admin at lowlands-l.net .

Thanks for your support.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
