Dear colleagues:

Tomorrow's New York Times--and the Times Web site tonight,
http://www.nytimes.com/--contains a valuable article on scholarly
efforts to recover and reconstruct the Virginia Algonquian language,
which has not been spoken since 1785, in connection with the movie "The
New World."

The article is entitled "Linguists Find the Words, and Pocahontas
Speaks Again"; the author is John Noble Wilford; and you can find it at
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/07/science/07lang.html.
