Description:		We requested Kamala and Dambar to play a language game for the purpose of recording a session. Dambar is resourceful in riddles so he was ready to ask riddles and Kamala was ready to answer them. When they were ready for the game we recorded the session.
		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.
		This is a language game. Dambar asks riddles to Kamala and she tries to answer them.
		Mrs. Kamala Baram is a fluent speaker of Baram language. We started to work with her quite later and have taken some texts from her.
		Mr. Dambar Bahadur Baram is a fluent speaker of Baram language. We started to work with him from the beginning of the project and have taken several texts from him. He is a good story teller and good at role playing. But he has got one problem that his texts are generally lack coherence.
		Mr. Krishna Paudel is a Research Assistant (RA) in this project. He has been actively participate in the field work, computing and other activeities.
