Comments on: My Arapesh language http://masalai.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/my-arapesh-language/ news, ideas, general banter and your comments...(acting locally looking globally) Wed, 14 May 2008 00:09:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: Emmanuel http://masalai.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/my-arapesh-language/#comment-1470 Emmanuel Wed, 09 May 2007 12:14:39 +0000 http://masalai.wordpress.com/2007/04/02/my-arapesh-language/#comment-1470 Andrew, thank you for that news nah yes aik nape wosik! Yeah I had emailed Lise/Swagien about it and she was a bit busy with some work but she said she would make a comment sometime soon. But great to see that you've been in touch with her. I was in Waut last week for a couple of days and I was talking to Seregen and Ignas about the situation with our language, even the young in the village cannot speak it fluently as detailed conversations have already escaped them. I'm hoping that the computerised form will help us in learning the language, but we need to create and environment where we can use the language so some application is necessary to make it applicable in some way and thus keeping it alive. Hope you are all well and keep safe! Andrew, thank you for that news nah yes aik nape wosik!
