A Colombian sociolinguist working with the P.ez people sent me the message
below. He asks whether anyone has had experience with the kind of language
revitalization experiment they are doing there (developed by a group of
bilingual teachers), via the use of table games. At present, only 30% of
P.ez in the community speak the language (nasa yuwe). If anybody has any
relevant information or would like to correspond on this, they can write
Pedro Cort.s or William Garc.a at <wgarcia at atenea.ucacua.edu.co>. Pedro
speaks English too.

Thanks,

Luisa Maffi
