We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear Colleagues,
I am writing an article on possible historical links between personal pronouns of the languages Asia and the Pacific, and gathering data on the reconstructed proto-language personal pronoun forms.
I would appreciate to have an advice on where I can find information on the two points:
1. Is there any clue on the reconstruction of the Common Proto-Australian personal pronouns? I found some Pama-Nyungan reconstructions, but not Proto-Australian.
2. The same for Austronesian: though some scholars give Proto-Mon-Khmer pronouns, but have the Proto-Austroasiatic personal pronouns been reconstructed?
I will be obliged for any advice on the topic.
