Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

The MultiTree project, a digital library of language 
relationship hypotheses, has been supported through your 
donations since 2008. These donations are greatly appreciated, 
because they have allowed students to work on this project:

http://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

The MultiTree library has 1,015 language family trees that 
are freely available to the public at http://multitree.org. 
Our hyperbolic tree viewer allows one to visualize the language 
relationships in a hierarchical tree view. The public may also 
download, comment on, and compare the trees within the library.

The comparison feature's ability to display two hypotheses in 
the same browser window is an important feature in our discipline, 
where hypotheses for languages families can vary greatly depending 
on the specialist and the time period in which they were written. 
In addition to providing these hypotheses in accessible format, 
MultiTree offers an impressive bibliography of sources for those 
who are interested in learning more about a particular family.

The continued development and maintenance of MultiTree can only 
happen with your ongoing support. Please donate today to ensure 
that this resource is available for all to use:

Thank you so much for your continued support of 
The LINGUIST List and MultiTree.

Kind regards,

Lwin Moe
MultiTree Team Leader
The LINGUIST List

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
