New language/dialect blog

[LanDi Liu]

For those of you who think of this as the [American [Dialect Society]].  : )

into the dying Manchu language, and the possible influence it had on
Mandarin.

Introductory post on Beijing Sounds (where it sprang out of):

The first post, introducing what we're up to:

(This won't be the "new post every day" kind of blog; maybe one every two
weeks or so.)
