We are working hard to develop learning material for members of the community interested in learning this language. If you happen to have on hand older material that you don't mind having copied to add to the growing collection of material, please contact Julie McIntosh through this blog. Material is anything from paper documents to cassette tapes to cds/dvds to videos and even pictures.
Your contribution will be documented for posterity. There seem to be many names assigned to this language mostly from linguists including Northwestern Maidu, Konkow Maidu, Concow Maidu, Kankau, Konkow, Concow and there are probably others. The true name of the language is kojomk'awi People of the garden or meadow.
In addition, to make things more readily available providing your emails to allow for the distribution of material electronically would be wonderful. We know that there are community folks out there who are interested in participating in the revitalization and preservation of this language.
This is a forum to bring all of you together to discuss, contribute, and toss ideas around about your language and culture. It's just one of many ways to keep it alive within your community.
This site is really cool and a really good idea. I will continue to follow this blog.Thanks for the invite
ReplyDeleteIs there a way I can use the maidu sans serif font in this section?
ReplyDeleteI fixed it.
ReplyDeleteOk,here we go again.
ReplyDeleteI just thought I typed a comment but then after all that come to find out i wasn't even signed in. So everything I wrote is now gone. So now you get the short version.
Ok ,Jul' I see what you were trying to type and I know what was supposed to be there. it just doesn't display on my end.
These silly comment boxes really don't allow for font switchovers like a word doc does.
Therefore I propose we utilize an auto-default form of typing to get by restrictive keybording environments like these strange lil typing boxes you so often get with social "webasedsites" lol, c'ek dat majdy word. Anywayz, so like sa]y bcomes sap'y.
so that at least the illustration of the hard p' is made. So, think primary font for unrestrictions secondary for restricted typing boxes like this one.
