I suppose there is no chance of offering the course during the
summer, when it will be easier for students (and faculty) from other
institutions to enroll?  Brian Spooner has been talking about
organizing a summer course on Urdu.  It might indeed be a great idea
to put together a larger summer "package" offering Pashto, Urdu, and
Farsi.  In addition, our people here might perhaps be enticed to
contribute Sindhi as well.

I'd like to hear feedback on these ideas.
