    Dear subsribers,

    I am trying to find out for a colleague whether the ISO code for the representation of names of languages (ISO 639) has an entry for the language of the Roma gypsies. And if so, can anybody tell us which 2 (or 3) letters have to be used according to it? I don't know exactly how the language is called in English, the original name is Rom.

    Thanks a lot for you help. Please answer directly to my colleague at georgeruic.asso.fr

    Regards, Birgit Hoppe

    Dear Listers, Does anyone know of any web-site publishing "3-D diagram/photogram of speech apparatus"? So far, my knowledge about the speech-related organs is from the textbooks which present only 2-D diagram with vague quality. I am really interested in how the vocal cords work when speaking. Better a 3-D virtual reality which can take me deep into the amazement!
