<br>
On the question of linguists vs users: First, if there are no
users, only linguists, then no identifiers are being written, so
no need for this particular activity. Second, users may not know
the representational systems of linguists, or they may chose to
ignore them. <br>
<br>
In general, a language community's current practice should inform
us, e.g., for Lakota texts, White Hat orthography over Riggs, or
Boas, etc.<br>
<br>
Here is a mostly missed opportunity -- a regional native tech
meeting going on yesterday, today and tomorrow, "To App or Not
App: Looking at How Technology Impacts Language Learning", in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. The URL is:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ilinative.org/iliss/index.html">http://www.ilinative.org/iliss/index.html</a><br>
<br>
I'm corresponding with Chris Harvey, who's likely to be there (he
works for ILI), and who has done a number of keymaps. I'm also
working with the director of the NorthWest Indian Languages
Institute. The URL is: pages.uoregon.edu/nwili<br>

concerns getting further expertise for languages of the

of the language communities but linguists who have worked with
the language communities should be easier to identify and have
a more global knowledge of languages and script use.</div>
