Arlington, Virginia22204 Printed in the USA Preface This annotated bibliography of basic tools of access for the study of the uncommonly- taught languages is a revision of A Provisional Survey of_Materials for the Study of the NtglectedLa_ which the Center for Applied Linguistics published-ITI-1.79Z9..All modern languages except standard English, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish have in principle been included whenever adequate materials for studying them could be located. The present edition was comPiled in responSe to a consensus reached at the Kittamaqundi Conference en the' Uncommonly-Taught _Languages convened by the U.S. Office of Education in Columbia,-Maryland September 29 - October 2, 1974;*Area specialists participating in the conference felt that the quantity of materials published' in all areas since the appearance of the 1969 survey warranted a complete update of that edition. The current survey is being published in eight faseicles, utilizing the aame arrange- ment of languages and language groups as thc earlier one within the following divisions Western Europe/Pidgins and Creoles (European-based); Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union; The Middle East and North Africa; South Asia; Eastern Asig; Sub-Saharan,Africa; Southeast Asia and the Pacific; North, Central and South America. ,The priMary emphasis continues to be 011 materials designed for use by the adult learner whose native language is English, although some materials of interest mainly to the teacher,,the specialist and/or the textbook writer have been incorporated. Under grammars, texts have been added which require knowledge of-medern linguisticterminology. Books in print and available cotmercially are included, as. well as these out of print, forthcoming or of limited accessibility. On the other hand, some of the publications of limited accessibility appearing in the 1969 survey have been dropped, especiallY when they have been sUperseded by later publications which are more readily available. In the case of languages for which there appear to be no adequate or:recent texts in English, entries include older books, technical studies, and books in foreign languages. For languages not appearing in_the former survey, both recent works and Older textbooks have been included,to givea-tore,comprehensive overView of information available. Pre- 190 bilingual dictionaries are listed when they apparently constitute the sole or major source for the language4 or whenthey have appeared as reprints. The:present surVey, is:the result of:contributions from manyindividuals. ,Dr.David DeCamp, the Center'S Associate Director fon international Programs and Professor of Lin- ' guistics, English and Education at the University of Texas, served as project director until June 30, 1976, at which time Dr. Anthony Robson assumed this responsibility as head of the Center's'International Programs., Generous assistance was given by our colleagues at the Center, especially Begay . *Papers presented at this conference were,published by the Center fOr Applied Linguistics (Material Devolo- ent Needs in the_ Unco 1 --u ht Lang11!.ges: Priorities for the Seventies,, 1975), 5 Atkinson, Publications Director, and Diane Bartosh of the publications staff; Alice Eppink, Librarian; and members of the staff of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics.. We also wish to express our gratitude to those scholars who reviewed -our' preliminary draft and made manY valuable suggestions Their names are listed in the appropriate fascicles. Thanks are also due the Library of Congress, including many.staff members in the specialized reference sections-of the Library. The Library allowed us access to its stacks, which great1Tfacilitated our work. Our very special thanks go to Wilma ChaR_, Jean Lewis and Sonia Kundert, who _yped the manuscript for publication. At the end of each fascicle we are providing our readers with a -form which we hone they will use to send us information about published or forthcoming basic tools of access which have not come to our attention and which may be included in a later editien of this collection.

Hanks Eliabeth Kimmell Dorothy Rapp iv Introduction Some of th languages which appeared in the provisional edition of this survey (1969) under the Middle East section -- e.g., Armenian, Azerbaijani, Laz, and Ossetic -- have been transferred in the present edition to the fascicle dealing with Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. This shift has been made because speakers of these languages previously concentrated in the Middle East have been increasingly dispersed thrOughout the world, and .the only speakers still clu tered in sizable groups reside chiefly within the borders of the Soviet Union. Alth _.gh some consideration was given to placing Baluchi and Pashto in the South Asia fascicle, the traditional approach has been folloWed, and these two languages cohtinue to appear in this volume. Because many Arabic boOks have been reprinted during the'last five years, reprints af .older standard grammars and dictionaries in Classical Arabic, as well as those
