Comments
Dear Seino,
Thank you for listing some resources for Atong [aot].
Ethnologue does not have a place to list references or resources on the web pages for languages. We do enter them into the Ethnologue database, and they appear on the web page under "Language Development". For Atong (https://www.ethnologue.com/language/aot), you will see "Dictionary. Grammar. Texts." For the actual bibliographic references, Glottolog has a complete listing (https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/aton1241).
Best regards,
Charles Fennig
