Campbell, George L., ed. 1991. Compendium of the world's
languages (2 vols.). London and New York: Routledge. 1574 pp.
This book has short surveys on 300+ languages.
A bibliography of materials on Burushaski was once posted
on LINGUIST.
I have found nothing (other than passing mentions) anywhere
on Nahali. Has anybody else?

P.S. What kind of e-mail address is csn.org!stunnel? Where's the @???
[ Mark's address is "stunnel@csn.org" The address shown in the "Original
Sender:" line is an artifact of the kind of connection the NativeNet
relay system ("gnosys") has with the network (which is via a UUCP hookup
to a number of machines that are directly connected to the Internet).
The software at many sites continues to accept mail which uses the
"bangpath" form of address ("csn.org!stunnel"), which predates the
Internet as a vehicle for moving large amounts of mail among geographi-
cally-dispersed locations.
One of the reasons I have recently passed on my duties as moderator of
the NATIVE-L and NATCHAT lists is to be able to spend more time working
on the mailing list relay software. At the top of my list of things to
do is that of re-writing addresses so they appear in standard Internet
form. Meanwhile, please note that when you see an address of the form
"foo.org!user" it is equivalent to "user@foo.org" If you see an address
that reads something like "relay-site.org!foo.edu!user" you can generally
re-write the address as "user@foo.edu" - dropping the first component,
which represents unnecessary addressing information relating to the path
taken by the message of the person who has sent it. If anyone has any
further questions about this or any matter relating to the mailing lists,
please address them to me. --Gary (gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us) ]
