>I have recently uploaded what I call "Indegenous Minority Languages of
>Russia: Bibliographical Guide" at URL:

>This is  a UTF8-encoded Web version of about one fifth of the material
>I obtained from linguist colleagues in Moscow in a joint project. The
>Web pages deal with 53 languages which had less than 50000 speakers in
>the late 1990s. Your comments and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

>I would also be very happy to receive whatever information about "non-
>indegenous" minority languages/linguistic minorities of Russia as well,
>about which I know practically nothing as my background is descriptive
>linguistics in the Uralic languages.
>
>Does anyone know a reference work on the current states of Russia's
>"non-ingeneous" linguistic minorities?

>A while ago I read an article in a local Estonian-language newspaper
>published in Tallinn, Estonia -- I am staying in Tallinn at the moment --
>about an Estonian woman who has just returned from Siberia, where she
>taught Estonian at a school in an Estonian community for one year.
>Back in the early eighties I met a Korean woman from Central Asia in
>Estonia. She was working as a typist for Tartu University.

>Thank you.
