I have moved myself from the Japanese team to the Asian team for now. If there are teams for both I would rather be in the Asian team, otherwise I'll happily move back to the Japanese team.

I've just thrown my hat into the ring with French, German, Italian and of course,
Scottish Gaelic.
My participation in TAC '14 was nil, the stresses of working life being the main culprit.
I have been studying nonetheless, though my log fails to show this. Looking forward to a
more fruitful year of TAC!

Okay, I've added the category "Asian Languages" to the Wikia!
People who are interested in studying more than one Asian language or who would like to join the team anyway can sign up for it now.
We'll have to see if all students of Asian languages will join the team or if there will be seperate teams for single languages as well. This will depend on the number of sign-ups for each team. |

If it means Mandarin / Cantonese / Korean / Japanese, would you please change the name to "East Asian Languages" or some other clearer denomination?

Your wish is my command! Although I think it's for the team to decide about what languages may participate. From a linguistic point of view, narrowing it down to the languages you mentioned would make sense, of course.

East Asian is ok. I just don't want learners of Hindi, Arabic, Turkish, Thai, Tibetan, Indonesian, etc. to think it applies to them and be deceived.
After all, "Asian" is a big Gebiet. ;)

Hekje and Sprachprofi did Indonesian at Team Rare this year. If they are willing to continue, maybe we can have an Indonesian team. I'd be the 4th member and only 1 member would be missing to make it a team
then. |

I may end up augmenting my Malay study with some Indonesian resources this year because of how similar they are to each other. Though it may be better to keep everything in a larger team rare instead of splitting off into several tiny teams.
