Query:	Dear LinguistList subscribers and fellow linguists, I'm currently conducting research into the under-documented Narrow-Bantu language Bembe (also known as Ki-bembe, D54; language code: bmb). I would be grateful about anyone with knowledge of or access to Bembe native speakers (preferably in the UK) and about passing this message on. The UNESCO categorises Bembe as a definitely endangered language and, unfortunately, there is not a lot of information to be found on the internet or in more specific databases on the language itself. I also appreciate anyone who can provide me with information about Bembe which is not directly retrievable from the internet or even point me to any (published) literature I'm not aware of. I promise to post a summary of the responses. Thank you very much in advance.
