Subject:  Request for syllabification algorithms
 
 
I am working on a speech recognition project and would like to
automatically syllabify the words in my lexicon.  I've been looking
for syllabification algorithms, but I am having a hard time finding
practical, clearly stated and complete algorithms that will provide
good coverage.
 
Does anyone know of such computationally implementable syllabification
algorithms?  I will be happy to summarize any responses.
 
Thank you.

Subject:  Lemke, anyone?
 
Dear Colleagues,
 
Does anyone have information about the survival of a language called
"Lemke"?  My step-mother and I were talking the other night, and she
is certain that all Lemke communities in the Carpathian Mountains
region -- from which both her parents came -- have been obliterated.
I was trying to tell her that the villages might be gone, but the
language might still survive with speakers elsewhere.  One person
recently told me that there is a strong community in Pennsylvania,
U.S.  Can anyone confirm this?  And what about in Europe?
 
Thank-you in advance for your help.

Is there anybody out there who knows the Cushitic language
Burji and could answer just a couple of quick questions?

I would greatly appreciate it, if someone could suggest a recently published
text (or texts) for an undergraduate FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION course.
