Dear Mr. Chan,



I attach the Numbers section from my dissertation, A Grammar of

Assiniboine" (c 2005). It is in MS Word, in a font called "Times

Lakota" that includes a few special characters that Times New Roman

does not include. Those fonts are also attached. Please feel free to

contact me if you need further information or if you encounter problems

opening the document.

Quoting "Eugene S. L. Chan" <eugenechans at hkbn.net>:


> Dear Dr. Linda Cumberland,

Greetings from Hong Kong!  My name is Eugene Chan, I am a former member 
of SSILA (1990-1998) and I have just resumed the membership, I have been
working on numeral systems of world's languages for many years.

>
I am now working with Prof. 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.

However, I am still looking for updated data for Assiniboine and some
native languages in USA , Canada and Mexico.

> Today, from SSILA membership directory, I'm very glad to find your e-mail
address, so I am now sending this e-mail for your help.

> If time permits, would you mind doing me a favor? I will be very much
appreciated if you could share me with the data on the numeral system for
the Assiniboine language.

If you agree to help me, I will send you a simple questionnaire.
Thank you very much in advance for your support.

With best wishes,

Sincerely,

Eugene
