Other help

I live in New Zealand (as do thousands of speakers of Samoan, where Samoans make up the largest group of "Pacific" people after the indigenous Maori). I work mostly on the English and Maori Wikipedias.

A Samoan-language pre-school centre (a'oga amata) recently expanded into a new building in my city (Porirua). It can take 75 children. Its opening was featured on Maori Television.

Please email me (or add a question to my "talk" page here) if you have questions about how you can contribute to the Samoan Wiktionary. I may be able to help, even though I do not speak or read more than a few words of Samoan. Because of my obvious interest in Pacific people I was recently invited to join Islanderfriends.com.

Samoan_language - small vocab list, which I have on my office harddrive - "American Samoans have a rich language that remains the main language of the people. English is the second language and all islanders can speak english as well."
