<p class="MsoNormal">Just sharing a message from Kereni Sparks Ngenge from Vanuatu/PNG about the endangered language of Lou Island in PNG. If anyone has worked on the Lou language of the Manus Province or knows someone who has, can you please get in contact
with Kireni who is very keen to collaborate with linguists on her language [<a href="mailto:kirxsn@gmail.com">email: kirxsn@gmail.com</a>]. Please follow the links below to videos created by Kireni to learn more:<o:p></o:p></p>
