Description:This is a thirty minute recording of Margaret Pohu reciting a wordlist compiled by Jessica Cleary-Kemp to illustrate phonemic contrasts.
Koro is an Oceanic (Austronesian) language spoken by several hundred people on Manus and Los Negros islands, approximately 200 miles off the north coast of the Papua New Guinea mainland. This documentation consists primarily of recorded narratives and conversations in the Papitalai dialect, spoken in Papitalai, Riu Riu, and Naringel villages.
Word list. Recorded using the carrier phrase "A pwa x. A pwa X liye" meaning "Say x. Say x again."
Margaret's mother was Mary Tael, from Papitalai. Although her family all belongs to Papitalai, Margaret grew up in Naringel, until she moved to Papitalai in the 80s. Her children are Becky and Piru, and her grandchild (Becky's son) is Mailun Eduardo. Her siblings are Jack, Massina, and Eddie (and possibly more). Her first language is Koro (Papitalai dialect), but she began learning Tok Pisin when she was very young, and it is now her dominant language. Her English is fairly good.
Jessica Cleary-Kemp is the PI on the project. She conducted the research on Koro during her tenure as a PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley.
