Subject: Introduction

Irankarapte, Kazunari!

Here's my official welcome to the List and to its speakers corner, also my
thanks to you, Yokoyama-sensei and his colleagues.

I will post both versions to the anniversary presentations today.

The Esperanto one is the second one we have, which is fine, since having
alternative versions is always a good thing.

I've posted the Aynu (Ainu) version in Roman script already and will post
the one in Katakana today.  There is a small problem, though, in that some
Aynu-specific letters don't show in any Unicode-compatible fonts I have.
However, I think I can solve this by using smaller-font ル ru, ク ku, etc.

Again, welcome among us, also to Hiroyuki Yokoyama in extension!  I am sure
that many of our other members, being interested in minority languages, are
happy about your efforts to help the Aynu language of Japan and Siberia by
bringing it into the Internet.

Iyayiraykere! Suy unukaran ro!
Reinhard/Ron

P.S.: Here's a little non-Lowlandic treat for those interested: a snippet of
an Aynu song recorded a century ago by the famous Aynu specialist Bronisław
Piotr Piłsudski: http://panda.bg.univ.gda.pl/ICRAP/ainu.mp3. It reminds me
so much of the songs our our indigenous peoples of the American Pacific
Northwest!
