Typological survey of harmony systems

[Emily M. Bender]

Just a quick summary to the list of what I have received so far.
No one has been able to suggest a world-wide survey, but
Yvonne Treis pointed out Ursula Drolc's survey in African languages:

with the associated list of languages and references:

And Harry van der Hulst directed me to his bibliography in Oxford
