[Nahuat-l] Anither Launey citation

[Frances Karttunen]

In our instructional material for learning Nahuatl, Joe Campbell and  
I have cited Launey's grammar, comparing it favorably to the other  
works available (Garibay-pretty much useless; Anderson's translation  
of Clavigero with accompanying workbook-well-intentioned, but doesn't  
work as instructional material; Sullivan-misunderstands some of the  
phonology but is very good with references; Andrews-polemic, throws  
up roadblocks to learning, and doesn't tell where he gets things).

Also, in the Introduction to my Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl, I  
state (p. xxxiv), "The two modern sources most compatible with this  
dictionary are Andrews' Introduction to Classical Nahuatl and Michel  
Launey's Introduction à la langue et à la litterature azteques I.

I have always been an admirer of Launey and have not ignored him at all.
