Undergrad Endangered Language Project

[BSantaMaria]

This request unclear on whom she's requesting to interview when she states
"...any language with a speaker...".  There should be plenty of people who
researched/studied Indig. languages and know which ones are endangered but
many are not speakers of those languages; then if she means someone who is
currently a speaker, many native languages with this status have only few
elders who still speak them and, for the most part, they do not get on
computers, see this list serve and therefore, might not see this request
nor might not use email or have equipment for skype.

Just a thought if this request is to get any results, perhaps another
method of obtaining a volunteer could be more productive?
