Description:This session was recorded in Gorkha district. Sabbal Sing who is old native speaker of Baram and also has good fluency of his language. He has produced some text when he was in Gorkha. This session is recorded in the controlled settings.
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.
Sabbal Sing has produced some text when he was in Gorkha. This session includes an instruction of how to make to pheasant-trap. Although this text is not so long, he has told this description in details. He also added some experience of trapping the Kalij (black pheasant) when he was child. However, this session will be more useful especially for the instructional genre.

Mr. Sabbal Singh Baram is a fluent speaker of Baram language. We started to work with him from later part of the project. We have not taken several texts from him because he is always busy with his household work. He is an interesting person. He is clear in his voice but he could not contribute us longer texts.
