In a recent summary of currency terms, T. Beasley of UCLA is quoted as saying
that the term "real" was spread to SE Asia by "Islamic invaders".  What Islamic
invaders?  As far as I know, no outside Muslims ever invaded SE Asia.  Islamic
did not spread to SE Asia through invasion.  Please be more careful.

Why make it that difficult? In German the term Zischlaut can stand for the
sounds in following words: krei ss en, krei s en, krei sch en, Re g ie
(voiced palato-alveolar). Why not put the Shibilants or Rauschlaute into
the same bag. In my opinion we have to decribe every single sound with its
own characteristics with or without a term that puts into one sac. In
Swedish we have another kind of Zischlaut that is articulated simutaneously
labio-labial and with the velum. That too I woultd call a Zischlaut and be
happy with that.

This is not really a serious reply to the query about linguistics
texts for teenagers, so I am posting it here:  It may be of interest
to recall that Bloomfield claimed that his Language was intended for
highschool students.  Whether he meant it or whether this was just
his impish sense of humor, I have no way of knowing but it would be
interesting to find out (I did once interview someone in Chicago who
had known him well on a personal level, and he apparently DID have
an impish sense of humor, that much I can say).
