new Lakota book

["Alfred W. Tüting"]

>  Has anyone seen the following book?  It's a German language guide to
Lakhota, written by Rebecca Netzel and published by Reise-Know-How,
Peter-Rump-Verlag, Bielefeld, Germany.  They've done books on over 100
languages, including Nahuatl, Quechua and Guarani.<<


These seem to be kind of - somewhat more elaborated - 'Sprachführer' 
(language guides) to provide some basics on many languages (obviously 
meant to go together with travel guides). I think they're quite helpful 
to getting a quick overview on pronunciation, syntax and basic 
conversational phrases. The 'Kauderwelsch' (gibberish) series are giving 
you a feel for the syntax structures. There are also virtual editions 
(PDF) with sound files available. Most valuable! (A sample for Thai is 
downloadable for free.)

The Lakota booklet seems to be pretty new, since this language isn't to 
be found in the pull-down menue's language list - one has to search for 
'lakota'.
