I’m working with both Boeree and with Simon Davies on a new dictionary of LFN. I published Simon’s translation of Alice in 2012. https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FLa-aventuras-Alisia-pais-mervelias%2Fdp%2F1904808883&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ce52d02978a6d4818a64708d53efc776d%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636484176421162611&sdata=60D4DjLmSTBXmRUj2nku7zCqrlEx2Q1hhePtdTg92do%3D&reserved=0

I’m not a fluent speaker, but I can tell you that the language on these pages is genuinely LFN. Do you need more?

Yes, I think this should be enough as the expert verification.
