Date: 17-Mar-2012 From: LINGUIST List <linguistlinguistlist.org> Subject: A letter from team leader Lwin Moe E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers, The MultiTree project, a digital library of language relationship hypotheses, has been supported through your donations since 2008. These donations are greatly appreciated, because they have allowed students to work on this project: http://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm The MultiTree library has 1,015 language family trees that are freely available to the public at http://multitree.org. Our hyperbolic tree viewer allows one to visualize the language relationships in a hierarchical tree view. The public may also download, comment on, and compare the trees within the library. The comparison feature's ability to display two hypotheses in the same browser window is an important feature in our discipline, where hypotheses for languages families can vary greatly depending on the specialist and the time period in which they were written. In addition to providing these hypotheses in accessible format, MultiTree offers an impressive bibliography of sources for those who are interested in learning more about a particular family. The continued development and maintenance of MultiTree can only happen with your ongoing support. Please donate today to ensure that this resource is available for all to use: https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm Thank you so much for your continued support of The LINGUIST List and MultiTree. Kind regards, Lwin Moe MultiTree Team Leader The LINGUIST List This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor. Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer.
