If I have not heard from you (or you are using a pen name that I do not recognize), please send me an email at phil.parker at insead.edu letting me know. As my post, in the link above explains, I am more than happy to give any citations, or make corrections or delist titles that serve no purpose, but I need to hear from people in order to do so. Many Thanks Phil p.s. I am waiting to hear back from a couple of linguists concerned before I finalize the letter ... Hi,

If you have sent me an email, I am sorry for not responding; his emails were sent to an account that is monitored for volunteers, and I did not see them until now. He felt that you may have sent me an email (or two). I do not have records of these under the name jangari (I have checked all folders, including spam folders, but there may be errors in this way of looking). If you sent me an email, can I ask you a favor to resend to phil.parker@insead.edu. I will be more than happy to address your concerns. Cheers, Phil Dear Jangari,

One might argue that it's a different language from Wagiman, except it just happens to be 99.9% mutually intelligible. I wonder if the spelling Wageman is another attempt to get around copyright.

My only reservation, and the reason I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars, was that at 325 pages, some of Dr. Parker's analysis seems hurried, especially in comparison to some of the more scholarly books available in Hindi.
