[Nahuat-l] graphemes

[jonathan.amith at yale.edu]

Dear Listeros,

The debate on Nahuatl standardization is quite interesting. I am working on a
presentation / paper and, given the discussion so far, thought I would include
the first 10 or so pages. Obviously missing is the section on Nahuatl
lexicosemantics and morphosyntax; and it is in discussing these realms of
linguistic communication that the chasms between variants becomes most clear.

I have taken the liberty of attaching the first half draft; by the time 
I finish
undoubtedly the discussion will have moved on (or back) to other themes.

Best, jonathan
