Re: Similar (was: 'useful') languages

>>        University of South Florida, Tampa campus. (Also where I
graduated with a BA in Geology.)
        If I've read everything correctly, the class is taught by the head
of the foreign language department. That means that besides an academic
interest, it also presents a big you-know-what to kiss for eventually
applying for a master's in linguistics.<<

LOL! Funny....

>>        Unfortunately, it's only taught at level 1, which means no one
takes it as a foreign language requirement.<<

Bummer.

>> It's a requirement or elective for many African- and African-American-
degrees and certificates (-Literature, -Politics, -Economics, -Studies,
-History, etc.). There is also some interest because Tampa has a fairly
sizeable community that practices Santeria and the Orisha traditions, and
the "religious tongue" of Santeria is Yoruba.<<

Neat! Well, good luck with that! ;)
