The ICAAL 5 Organizing Committee regrets that the International Conference on Austroasiatic Linguistics, scheduled for Nov 9-11 at Mahidol University, has been canceled.
Unfortunately, relocation is not possible. Mahidol's Salaya campus is now closed until late November and other venues in Bangkok are in imminent danger of flooding as well, with the possibility (esp. in the case of a levee break) of 50 - 100 cm. across the entire city.
Once the situation has normalized, we will invite discussion on how best to proceed. Participants in the Handbook of Mon-Khmer Languages project will be contacted soon to discuss their contributions. All who submitted abstracts for the meeting will be invited to submit full papers for consideration by the Mon-Khmer Studies Journal.
Our hearts go out to the people of Thailand, and to our many colleagues in and around Bangkok whose homes are already flooded, in this difficult time.
Thanking you for your support and understanding.
