Dear LINGUIST Listers,

Happy Friday! Now that it's the weekend, you may think you have the chance to
sit back and relax... but think again, because the next edition of the Great
LINGUIST Treasure Hunt is here! So grab your passport, your walking shoes, and
your travel-size toothbrush, and head to the LINGUIST List International
Virtual Airport!

This game involves traveling the (virtual) globe with us and testing your
linguistics wits. Everyone who completes the treasure hunt  will be entered to
win a very exciting prize: a copy of "The Speculative Grammarian Essential
Guide to Linguistics," published by everyone's favorite journal of satirical
linguistics, Speculative Grammarian!

To play, you need to go to GeoLing (http://geoling.linguistlist.org), our
online interactive map interface. You can find the navigation buttons by
clicking the menu button in the upper left corner. Select and unselect Local
Events, Jobs, Conferences and more to view them on the map. Game clues will be
found in different locations on different kinds of pins.

To get you started, here's the first clue:

Visit the March 2017 issue of Speculative Grammarian (http://specgram.com/).
In one of the "Linguimericks" in this issue, a scenic location on an island
nation is mentioned. Find this spot on GeoLing for the next clue!

Buena suerte, mirary soa e, and yoo dara o: may the best linguist win!

-Your LL Team
