================================================================  

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.

Dear Colleagues,

We are working on Grammars of Wandala (Mandara) and Giziga, Chadic
languages spoken in Cameroon and Nigeria. In order to supplement data we
have been gathering in the field, we would like to have access to native
speakers who might be residing in the US or Canada. If you know of any such
speakers could you please give them our e-mail addresses or phone number?
Many thanks.
