Dear Lowlanders,

Thanks to the continuing effort of Mike Szelog, our top anniversary site 
faciliator, there is now an Irish version of the wren story:

Thanks, Mike!

How about a Scottish Gaelic translation?  Valerie Mhic Giolla Fhinnéin, the 
Irish translator, might be able to recruit someone for a Manx translation, 
but this is not to stop any of you from shooting for it as well.  Why all 
this Celtic stuff?  English and Scots, two of our Lowlands languages, have 
contacts with them.  It's educational in more than one way.  I wish I had a 
dollar for each time someone asks me if there's a difference between Irish 
(Gaeilge) and Irish English, or between Scots and "Scots Gaelic."  Besides, 
the anniversary site is supposed to celebrate language as a whole as well.

Keep on keeping on, folks, in *any* language variety!

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
