best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was

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

Dear LINGUIST List subscribers,

I'm working on an article about endangered languages and 
wondering whether there are places in the United States - New York, in 
articular - where more immigrants speak an endangered language than 
people do back in their homelands. Does this seem plausible? Where 
should I look? 

Thanks so much, 
Sam Roberts
