Hello!     Earth Language (EL)

Comments
# I'm still working for cleaning troubles, correcting and rebuilding the entire EL site. It takes so long with the new software.  After the basic fixing, I'm planing  using more EL symbols for link-icons.

# In the index (cover) page, a set of haiku and its haiga (EL-pictographic color picture) is this year; and it changes seasonably. Please enjoy.

# Warning: the earthlanguage domain-name is used for advertising mails including weekly newsletters; but I've never sent such thing. Maybe relating to the trouble, recently I often can't get/reply mails using the domain address. If you couldn't get answer from me, please send again.
