Notice:	Dear fellow linguists, anthropologists and scholars in general all across the planet: I am trying to get in touch with people who can read and write certain disappearing scripts well enough to be able to translate a short text for me. Here are the scripts in which I am especially interested, and as yet have nobody who can act as a translator: Redjang Bamum Balinese Manchu Nushu Ranjana/Lantsa N’Ko Buhid Tai Dam Javanese Maldivian/Thaana If you happen to be able to read and write in one or more of these scripts and are interested in joining me in this project by translating a four-line poem, please contact me at the above email address. Needless to say, I'll credit you in all written materials. If you think you may know of someone else who may be able to help, please forward this appeal to him or her. Thanks so much, and best wishes, Tim Brookes
