Dear ELLers,
A minority language group in SE Asia is examining guidelines on
borrowing foreign terms into their language as more and more of
their
people need to talk about computers, cellular phones,
inoculations,
etc. in that language.
Some countries have specific agencies to determine
how words and
concepts can be borrowed into their languages.
This language group desires to maintain a
definite local flavor to the
terms that they use to describe
technology and concepts from outside.
They would like to be able to consider
what other speech communities
are doing in this area.
So is anyone on this list
able to forward policies
that French, German
or other regulatory /
advisory agencies have used
to guide their work?
These people would very
much like to consider the
issues that others
have considered
important in the whole
process.
Please forward any
helpful materials to me
at this address, or
post
them on the ELL if
they are short
enough. I will forward
them on to
the minority group
people.
Thank you
Tom Tehan,

Dear ELLers,
It may be of
use to have a
look at what
other
non-dominant
language
communitites
have done in
similar
cases. I
suggest you
to visit the
TERMCAT
(Centre de
Terminologia
Catalana) web
page:
