Linguasphere

[Dr. John E. McLaughlin]

Besides being a native speaker of one, I'm mostly on on-looker to the
IE languages, so I'd like to know what people think about the I-E
section of David Dalby's recently published Linguasphere volume.  I've
got some corrections to bring to his attention in the section of
languages I work on (Numic of Uto-Aztecan), so I'd specifically like
the impressions you might have about his decisions on "outer
languages" versus "inner languages" in respect to mutual
intelligibility issues.  Thanks.  (My copy is numbered 052, so I hope
that at least some of you represent copies 1-51.)
