Kusaal Language Efforts

SIL field linguist Mike Steinborn contacted a colleague of mine about work he and his wife are doing in Burkina Faso with the language of the Kusassi people. They are developing a written form, orthography, lexicon/dictionary and more, and are trying to get individuals to help with analysis over the internet. Anyone who has a small amount of linguistic knowledge and some free time is more than welcome to help.

The link to the central site of the work is here.

The previous text was slightly paraphrased from a message sent to me by a colleague.

It looks interesting, to say the least, and I am a large fan of more open-soucre collaborative efforts. It really does seem like an honest effort more interested in larger than personal goals. Help out if you can.
