SIL Electronic Survey Reports

Information about some very poorly documented Chadic languages has been in published in SIL Electronic Survey Reports. Here is a description of the contents of the series found on their website:

SIL Electronic Survey Reports (SILESR) are published by SIL International (Dallas, Texas). The series publishes reports on sociolinguistic surveys carried out by SIL field members and others. They are usually preliminary work papers and not presented as polished research. They are based on field notes and are in some cases the work of young sociolinguists with minimal training.
