ELL: Call: Article submission request for a book, Inspiration in endangered languages

[Edwin Rutsch]

Greetings
 
I am looking for native speaking language enthusiasts to contribute a
short 300 word article, on the meaning of the word for "Inspiration" in
their language of expertise. This is for inclusion in a book I am
writing entitled "The Spirit of Inspiration". I would like to have at
least 50 different languages represented in the book. So far I have
contributors for 36 languages.
 
I was wondering if anyone on the list would have any suggestions, tips
or leads on  where I could find contributors for any of the endangered
languages?  (Feel free to forward this email.)
 
The article would include aspects of the following about the the nature
of inspiration; the definition, etymology, how it is expressed in the
arts of the culture and the authors personal insights.  

I have created a detailed submission guideline with a sample article
which you can view at this URL;

A list of languages and contributors is located at this url.

Sincerely,
