<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Subject: Technica</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Folks,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It is really encouraging to see improved technology being used for language demonstration and education purposes, especially where "rare" and endangered languages are concerned. I hope we will be able to get a piece of that too sometime.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I found another nice presentation, this one for Tlingit (</span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">LingĂt</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">),</span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">a Na-Dene language used in coastal southeastern Alaska and in neighboring parts of British Columbia, Canada.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It's a native story </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Shanyaak'utlaa<u>x</u></i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> ("Salmon Boy") presented as a book with written and spoken Tlingit text and English subtitles.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">So, you whiz-kids, what is the extension .sfw? I know the program is Flash. I do have the Macromedia MX Program, but I haven't started using/learning it yet. Those of you that are in the know, how difficult and time-consuming do you think it would be to create a similar resource? Also, is it possible to create something like this in Microsoft OwerPoint (in which I'm fairly proficient) and them convert it into a Flash version?<br>
<br>Why, there might even be some jazzed-up Lowlands wren versions ... Any artists ready for illustrations?</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanks for any tips.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Regards,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Reinhard/Ron</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
