Description:This session is a role play. Tok is older brother and Sabbal is younger brother. The situation is Sabbal wants to go to his father-in-law's house and asks for permission and Tok shows him several problems. Finally, he lets him go. First they had rehearsal for the session and after they had been ready we recorded this sessiion.
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.
In this text Sabbal Singh wants to go to his father-in-law's house as his father-in-law and mother-in-law both are very old and sick. He says he has to take care of them. So he asks his older brother Tok Man for permission. Tok says there is a lot of work at home as it is the season for planting rice. They discuss and Sabbal gets permission from him.
Mr. Tok Man 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.His texts are generally interesting, systematically organised and clear.
Mr. Sabbal Singh Baram is a fluent speaker of Baram language. We started to work with him from later part of the project.
