Description:This recording was done at the site office of LEDBL at Gorkha in the beginning of data gathering in the field. We had invited Dambar Bahadur Baram and Tok Man Baram from Danda Gaun, Gorkha as language consultants. He told us about dumb person's story.
This project aims to document Baram, a seriously endangered language of Nepal, for its preservation and promotion. For this purpose, we will develop a corpus of the various texts of the Baram language and thereby prepare resources such as its sketch grammar, lexicon and ethnographic profile. To revitalize the language, we will develop Baram orthography and prepare a Baram primer to facilitate its use in basic education and literacy programmes. The audio-video recordings of the Baram database will be archived with its annotation in a website for its accessibility to linguists, ethnographers and the Baram speech community.
There are two men in this story: a man without an eye and a man without a leg. They make a friendship to pass their life. In a path, they met a demon and were afraid of themselves. However, they wanted to possess the demon's properties. Actually, Tok heard this story by an old man.
