We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I need any useful information about Scottish settlements in Italy.  As far
as I know there should be one in some of the central Italian regions, but
I'd like to have some more detailed information (exact place, history of
this settlement), because I'd like to study their language (whether or nor
it's been influenced by the Italian language.)

Thank you very much in advance to anyone able to give me any useful
information!

Dear Linguists,
  
Are you aware of any software for doing transliteration of such standard
and canonical texts as the Koran. By transliteration, I mean romanization
of the text so that the text could be more accessible to those who are
unfamiliar with the Arabic script could read standard and classical Arabic
texts.
  
I will be grateful for your reply and cooperation.

Kind regards,
Rho Hi
