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 all,
I am a postgraduate Geographical Information Science (GIS) student at Salzburg University and am currently writing my MSc thesis about mapping lesser spoken languages with a special focus on data quality. The sample languages I investigate are:
Apart from the Ethnologue/SIL survey reports and information provided by J. Brindle who is working on a synchronic grammar of Chakali, I have been unable to track down any current data about these languages. I am particularly interested in information about - locations at which the languages are used (villages/settlements) - approx. number of speakers - dialects (where applicable)
I would gratefully appreciate your help - if anyone knows about fieldwork currently being undertaken on these languages, please get in touch. Thank you very much!
