Foundation for Endangered Languages

[Ulrike Zeshan]

Hi, following a UNESCO-workshop on endangered languages in Paris last month, I am currently talking to Chris Moseley from Foundation for Endangered Languages about contributing a chapter on sign languages to the atlas of the world's endangered languages. There is a small section on sign languages in the chapter on African languages by Matthias Brenzinger in the published hardcopy version of this atlas, but nothing else on sign languages so far.

Hello,


I'm basically wondering here if anybody happens to know whether there are folks already working with Foundation for Endangered Languages (http://www.ogmios.org/manifesto/index.htm) to preserve signed languages?

By the way, I apologize if you end up getting a duplication of this e-mail due to me sending to two e-mail addresses associated with this listserves. I basically could not remember which one was the old one and the new one...

Thanks,
