> You asked about work done in that list of nearly extinct Zapotec
languages.  A few years back I did some salvage work on San Felipe Tejalapan
Zapotec.  I have a 500-word vocabulary, a phonology sketch, and a few other
items written up, based on some text work and vocabulary elicitation I did
there over the period of a couple of months.  The articles are scheduled to
be published on the SIL-Mexico site, but they're unfortunately bottle-necked
in the web publishing process.

would imagine that there's probably less than half that at this time.
