Documentation and description of Zerenkel language, an Afro-Asiatic language of Chad belonging to the East language family
Coverage:Chad

Description:Here I annotated and translated the communication about the interpretations of marriage in the Zerenkel context.
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.
Here, I translated discussions/explanations about the interpretations of marriage in zerenkel contexte. Questions raised are about the interpretations of dowry and all other presents, the work offered by man to his low family, the importance of a good behavior towards one's low family, why a man must stay within his low family before going away with his wife to his own house? Etc.
