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

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 LINGUIST List subscribers,

I have been asked to clarify the term "Alpine languages" in a scientific 
connection. The term has been explained on this wiki: 

http://wiki.frath.net/Alpine_languages

However, I am reluctant to quote a wiki page or Wikipedia in a 
dissertation. Consequently I would like to find a more solid source for 
my quotations. Could you, by any chance, recommend a scientific work 
where the term is properly defined? I would be most grateful to you for 
any help in this respect.

Best regards,
