09/24/2009 - Lakota Pronunciation Guide Up, Some Mistakes Fixed
The Lakota Pronunciation Guide is up and running. Some mistakes were just
fixed in the initial version. We'll probably never catch them all, but we'll try.
Please post links to SAIVUS on your site, or ask other sites to post a link to
us or our tutorials. Links to SAIVUS already appear on Wikipedia.
The Cherokee Pronunciation Guide and Cherokee Writing Guides are next in line
to be published, but first we will post a section containing bibliographies for
Hawaiian, Lakota, Cherokee and Plains Indian Sign Language. Hopefully, this will
hasten and encourage future research on these languages.
We will also post a links section. If you
have a Native American languages website or blog send us the URL and we will
include it in our new Links section.
09/22/2009 - Lakota Pronunciation Guide Slight Delay
There will be a short (24-48 hour) delay before the Lakota Pronunciation
Guide is viewable.
Meanwhile, SAIVUS was featured in the
Columbia Linguistics Society's Blog,
Time and Tongue, and others.
09/21/2009 - Lakota Pronunciation Guide Launched
Our Lakota pronunciation guide has been lanuched at
lakota.saivus.org. Please
tell us what you think.
Also, some mistakes were fixed in the Hawaiian Pronunciation Guide. Thank you so
much for all your comments. A Pronunciation Guide for Cherokee has nearly been
completed, as well as a lesson on Cherokee writing.
03/17/2009 - Hawaiian Pronunciation Guide Updated with Sound Files
The Hawaiian language section has been updated with a few sound files,
courtesy of ‘Oiwi Parker-Jones, a Hawaiian native speaker linguist!
Currently, there are 12 sound files located in the Common Words & Phrases
section of: hawaiian.saivus.org.
02/14/2009 - Virus gone
saivus.org was one of the 79,000+ websites infected with the Anti-Virus 2009
virus, which prevented any of our sites from being accessed on major search
engines. Thankfully, the virus has now been eradicated. If you feel your
computer may have contracted the virus you can remove it by installing the
software at
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/uninstall-antivirus-2009.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
01/22/2009 - First Resources Published
The Hawaiian language section is now published. Materials only concern the
pronunciation of Hawaiian. In the future we will have a comprehensive grammar
section and wordlists. Check out:
hawaiian.saivus.org and tell us
what you think.
