<div><font color="#000099">Dear Ron, </font>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â </font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">    Greetings from Hong Kong ! My name is Eugene Chan ( 陈西林), I have been working on numeral systems of world’s languages for many years. Many thanks for your previous help.</font></div></div>
<div><font color="#000099">    I am now working with Bernard Comrie on documentations of numeral systems of world’s languages, with special attentions on endangered numeral systems, as traditional numeral systems of small languages are susceptible to be replaced by dominant languages. I have built up a website hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig , Germany and I will share all the data in due course to promote the research of small languages and raise the awareness of endangered numeral systems. </font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â Â However, I am still looking for data for Ili Turki and some smaller Germanic languages.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â Â Today, I am very glad to have your e-mail address from your wonderful website, so I am now sending this e-mail for your help.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â Â If time permits, would you mind doing me a favor? I will be very appreciated if you and your colleagues could help me with data on the numeral systems for Ili Turki and some of the following Germanic languages or dialects, or kindly put me in contact with linguists working on some of these languages:</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â </font>
<div><font color="#000099">A. High German:</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">       Upper Saxon, Lower Silesian, Mainfränkisch, Limburgisch, Pennsylvania </font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">       German, Pfaelzisch, Hutterite German, Mócheno </font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">B. Low Saxon-Low Franconian:</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Vlaams, Zeeuws, Achterhoeks, Drents, Gronings, Twents, Veluws,</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Sallands, Stellingwerfs, Westphalien, Eastern Frisian</font></div></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â </font>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â Â Â If you agree to help me, I will send you a simple questionnaire.</font></div></div>
<div><font color="#000099">    Thank you very much again for your support. </font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â Â Â With best wishes,</font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â </font></div>
<div><font color="#000099">Â Â Â Â Cordially,</font></div>
