Have you wondered about cave and caving terms in other languages? The International Union of Speleology (UIS) has The Caver's Multi-Lingual Dictionary and with the addition of Lithuanian that this message announces, it now includes 16 different languages: Bahasa Indonesian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Dutch, English, Farsi/Persian, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian, Spanish, and Swedish.
Languages being worked on are Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Turkish, and Ukrainian. If you are fluent in a language not listed above and would be interested in adding cave/caving terms from that language into the UIS dictionary, visit the UIS website for information on how to help: http://www.uisic.uis-speleo.org/lexsend.html. You can find the dictionary and more at the UIS website: http://www.uis-speleo.org/ George P.S.: Of course, feel free to share this message with anyone who might be interested. ******************** George Veni, Ph.D. Executive Director National Cave and Karst Research Institute 400-1 Cascades Avenue Carlsbad, New Mexico 88220-6215 USA Office: 575-887-5517 Mobile: 210-863-5919 Fax: 575-887-5523 gv...@nckri.org www.nckri.org
