Contributions are welcome on any language of the Greater Himalayan Region, whether Tibeto-Burman, Indo-Aryan, Austroasiatic, Altaic, Hmong-Mien, Tai or an isolate. Although language is the focus of the Symposium, specialists from related disciplines such as philology, history, anthropology, archaeology and prehistory are strongly encouraged to participate and cast light from their respective angles on the study of Himalayan languages and language communities.

We invite abstracts for presentations on topics including, but not limited to: - Descriptions of lesser-known languages - Language change and variation - Multilingualism and language contact - Historical-comparative studies - Typological studies - Field reports - Corpus-based analysis - Language death and language preservation - Language policy and language planning - Ethnology and folklore - Himalayan languages and new technologies

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year. See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Space Fund Drive 2010 and join us for a great journey! http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2010/ There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

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. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program. Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
