To the Linglist readers,

Some weeks ago I published a query about Tok Pisin on behalf of my
student. The response we got was overwhelming, and we wish to express
our thanks to all of you who responded, namely Tony Bex, August
Cluver, Karl Franklin, Erland Gadelii, Debra Hardison, Michael Kac,
Gerardo Lorenzino, Hiro Masuda, Ritsuko Onoyama-Kikusawa, Ingo Plag,
Mark Sebba and Raymond Tang

We here publish a summary of all responses, and we will also contact
some of you personally.
