>Dear all,

>I am new to this list and would like to briefly introduce myself: My name is
>Ulla, and I am a postgraduate student at Salzburg University, Austria. I am
>currently writing my MSc thesis in Geographical Information Science, which
>focuses on issues of data quality for mapping lesser used languages in GIS.
>To draw conclusions about geolinguistic data quality I am investigating some
>sample languages including Ambakich [aew], Uyajitaya [duk] and Sam [snx].
>
> 
>
>However (and here's the reason why I got in touch with you), I have been
>unable to track down reliable, current data with regard to language
>location/distribution and numbers of speakers. The only sources I have found
>are the Ethnologue entries/SIL survey reports.
>
> 
>
>I therefore would like to ask whether any of know about fieldwork currently
>being undertaken on these languages and could maybe give me some pointers as
>to where to find more data. Your help is greatly appreciated!
