E-mail this message to a friend Dear LINGUIST List Readers:
Day 4 of our Language Warrior theme week: we are giving away another prize
from The Language Conservancy. Dedicated to rescuing the world’s endangered
languages, restoring them to vital use, and safeguarding them for future
generations, they help prevent the extinction of languages by: 1) raising
funds for research; 2) increasing the international public awareness of the
social and personal consequences of indigenous language loss; and 3) providing
technical support to organizations and communities engaged in revitalizing
their languages.
Today’s prize is Biiluukaalilaah! - Speak Crow!, a textbook and CD combo for
Level 1 Crow. According to Ethnologue, the Crow Language has a threatened
status with approximately 3000 speakers. If you are interested in language
revitalization and preservation, you can have a copy of your own by donating
and entering the raffle to win this resource book.
Normally the combined value of these items is $55 USD, and it can be yours for
a minimum donation of $25. Donate to the LINGUIST List before noon tomorrow
(April 3, 11:59 am EST), and get your name in the drawing for this combo set.
You can donate at this link:

Everything we do at the LINGUIST List is made possible by your continuing
support.
Thanks and good luck!
Sincerely,
The LINGUIST List Crew
