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

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 have been involved in test development for the Maori language of New
Zealand.  I am currently working on my Ph.D. and am looking for proficiency
tests for testing indigenous languages.  The tests are for primary school
children, specifically 8-13 year olds in listening, speaking and writing. 
My PhD is focused on writing.
