<br>
Please remember, Lowlanders, that our 14<sup>th</sup> anniversary month will
begin on April 15.<br>
<br>
As I mentioned a couple of days ago (Administrativia), this is a particularly
good time for you to pay renewed attention to our Anniversary project and to consider
adding translations and sound files to it:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/</a><br>
<br>
You can find the list of so far represented language varieties here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/contents.php">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/contents.php</a><br>
<br>
The list is available in the following languages as well: Chinese (traditional
and simplified), Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian,
and Malay-Indonesian.<br>
<br>
Here are some basic things to remember:</span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Please send
any translation and/or sound recording to me (<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>).</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Preferred
sound formats are MP3 and WAVE.<br>
Of course, Lowlands language varieties are top
priority, but this is a celebration of language generally, so <b>any</b>
language variety may be represented.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 11pt;">More than
one version in any given language variety is more than welcome.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Top at my current
personal wish list: Orcadian, Shetlandic, North Frisian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Slovenian,
Croatian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Basque.</span></li></ul>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
Thanks and regards,<br>
<br>
Ron</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Â </span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron<br>
