class=Apple-style-span style="FONT-SIZE: 13px">It may be a bit much to expect
your level of appreciation to be wide spread among a group of professional
linguists, whose primary focus is on analysis and language dynamics, so you will
have to look to the exceptions. I myself do like to the reviews how
contemporary literature is expressed in the Lakota language, as I am involved to
a much lesser degree how modern literature might be composed in similar
languages. Most of the community languages study is directed towards basic
communication, with few instances that I have come upon that encourages,
even rewards oral or written composition on contemporary subjects. It is
left to the imagination, as to how Native languages could blossom if the notion
would become widespread. So for my part, you can continue to share your
Native prose discoveries.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
