a question for linguists

[idiez at MAC.COM]

Mario,
	Eliazar will be working with us this summer, so if you can afford it, 
send the money. He has told me he would like to try and teach nahuatl 
full time in Hidalgo after he graduates. So this summer I'm going to 
start him working on two projects: a version of our dictionary in his 
"t" dialect, and a version of our grammar exercises also in his 
dialect. We will have between 7 and 9 students this summer.
