Description:This is the audio file of the explanation and comments about the meaning of some practices during the wedding celebration in zerenkel country. I also link its video here.
Zerenkel is an undocumented and endangered language spoken by circa 3000 rural inhabitants of the Guera region of Chad. This project aims to document a range of communicative events associated with highly endangered practices such as marriage rites, which are being lost to the community, and produce a phonology and grammar sketch. Due to a number of factors, the Zerenkel language and culture is under threat. Fortunately, in 2005, members of the community formed an association to develop and promote their language. This project will be undertaken in close collaboration with the community and aims to develop multilingual language and socio-cultural resources for the community.
People say for instance here that a new couple must start their life in girl's family house because her parents will test the new couple and provide advice about the life. It's also said that the dowry is only a symbol linking two families but it is not the girl's price.
Abakar is of my main consultants. He is actually the one supervising zerenkel literacy classes.
