@jimregan Question: how familiar are you with the documented language? (We try and be careful with endangered ones.) Are you a first language speaker, L2 speaker, or simply knowledgeable enough for documentation purposes?

[jimregan]

Knowledgeable enough for documentation purposes.

FWIW, this is work I'm doing as part of Språkbanken Tal, the speech component of the Swedish national research infrastructure for language; North Sámi is an official minority language of Sweden so it's in our interest to get this right.

[tbartley94]

Ohhhhh, you're with Sprakbanken? Okay that makes things way easier on our side since you have institutional backing.

Would you be interested in starting an email thread then? If Sprakbanken is interested in this type of work we may be able to set up a more official channel to assist y'all.
