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.

Margaret speaks the Lopohan dialect of Koro, which is slightly different from the Papitalai dialect.
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.
Margaret Londau Kamau is probably about 60 years old. She lives in the village of Lopohan. The variety of Koro she speaks is slightly different to that spoken in Papitalai village.
