List of languages

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

Here is a list of languages taught at just those institutions which have
responded to me in the past 12 or so hours:

[The list reflects the controversy surrounding the naming of South-Slavic
languages, e.g., BCS, Croatian, Serbian, Serbo-Croatian.  Yes, I understand
that these may be considered one language or separate languages.  Forgive me
for leaving that discussion to  politicians and other linguists.]

1. BCS (Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian)
2. Belarusan 
3. Bulgarian 
4. Croatian 
5. Czech 
6. Estonian 
7. Hungarian 
8. Latvian 
9. Lithuanian 
10. Macedonian 
11. Old Church Slavonic
12. Polish 
13. Romanian 
14. Russian 
15. Serbian 
16. Serbo-Croatian 
17. Slovak 
18. Slovenian 
19. Turkish 
20. Ukrainian 
21. Yiddish

I did not keep the data on Central Asian languages, such as Uzbek.

If your department or program teaches a Slavic or East European language
that does NOT appear on this list (anyone for Albanian, Roma or
Ruthenian/Rusyn, lower or upper Sorbian?), please do let me know what it is.
If your department or program teaches some combination of the 21 or so
languages listed above, your languages have been ³covered.²

I am very grateful to the many people who wrote me with information today:
it¹s a demonstration of the solidarity of our field.

Sincerely,

Ben Rifkin
