<DIV>I'll have to look at it when I get to a computer. My phone student play
youtube very well in my apartment. But from what I saw and heard, which was like
the first line of words, I could hear a few lakota words. But like I said, I'd
like to hear it on a pc and also to listen repeatedly. it does sound like songs
people sing in church or country songs sung in any of the dialects.

<DIV><BR></DIV>I hope this doesn't fall in the category of nuisance
mail.<BR><BR>A Russian friend just forwarded me a link (see below) to a YouTube
video that purports to be a translation of the Russian carol "A christmas tree
was born in the forest" into "Syu Lakota". He's curious to know whether
the language is in fact Lakhota, and if so, whether it's a good
translation. Anyone out there got any answers? It sounds like
plausible Lakhota to me, but I can't judge at all how good.<BR><BR>This seems to
be one of those Eastern European fascinated-by-Indians groups; apparently part
of something called "Shou Dikij Zapad, i.e. Wild West Show. My favorite of
the comments is "indejtsy ruljat" -- Indians rule.<BR><BR>Anyhow, if
anyone has any comments, Dmitry and I will be interested.
