ELL: RE: Question

[Baden Hughes]

I wrote Yuri with a lot of information about current efforts for
Australian languages and indicated that duplication of effort may be a
factor, but I have not heard anything in response. I also included a
long list of language archives for minority/endangered languages in the
hope that he could see what others were doing in the same area.

Hello,
Does anyone know of Yuri Tambovtsev?  He circulated the following
message, and it seems he is unaware of all of the archiving work being
done.  It also seems he is doing a lot of archiving, and if so, he
should be brought into the larger community trying to establish
standards.

All the best,
Randy



Subject:   [Corpora-List] an appeal to the corpora community

Dear colleagues, I'm sure it is high time to launch

an appeal to the corpora community about creating the corpora for the
endagered or smaller languages of the world in the

electronic form. I have gathered the corpora of about 80 endagered world
languages in the electronic form. They are mostly

Finno-Ugric, Tungus-Manchurian, Turkic, Paleo-Asiatic and Siberian
languages.  I wonder if you could help me to find

AmerIndian and Australian languages in the electronic form? If you could
spread this appeal, please, forward it to the proper

people. Looking forward to hearing from you soon to yutamb at hotmail.com ,
yours most hopefull y Yuri Tambovtsev,
