Description:		The interaction takes place at the top of the Ngog-Lituba mytical rock. It involves a native speaker of the Kelleng dialect and a native speaker of the Nyambat dialect.
		The project to Document aspects of Bati language and oral traditions is an original idea of Dr Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso, who had initially surveyed the Bati speech area as part of a pilot research project granted by the Ministry of Scientific Research and Technological Innovation of the Republic of Cameroon. Based on the results of this pilot research which have revealed a situation of critical endangerment of Bati language and ancestral practices, the idea to submit a major documentation project to ELDP has matured. The project has eventually been submitted during the 2015 funding round with Dr Emmanuel Ngué Um as Principal Investigator, and Dr Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso as co-applicant. The project started in October 1st, 2015, and will run till the 30th of September in 2018.
		This is a free interaction between two speakers of Bati, one from the Kelleng dialect and the other from the Nyambat speech variety.
		The language in use is Bati; however, each of the speakers resorts to their respective native dialect
		Mbessi Makondo Gilbert as acted as one of the key informants for the research team during the first year of the project. Due to his extensive multilingualism coupled with a high sense of public network and relations, he has assisted the research team in most of their whereabouts throughout the various consultants who have agreed to lend themselves to research exercises. In some cases, Mbessi Gilbert has acted as the interviewer. This approach has been privileged in surveys dealing with anthropological, cultural and religous aspects. He had been trained by the research team in the monitoring of interviews, and in questionnaire administration, and has proven to be a talented and committed research assistant.
		Nsumb Boniface is a native of Nyambat. He is a relative to Mbombog Njambga Nicolas. According to Mbombog Njambga Nicolas, Nsumb Boniface's grand father was one of the traditional priests (Mbombog) to who the catholic church have abducted and confiscated their priestly artifacts as the church waged the conquest over Mbombole. Nsumb boniface is a trained tourist guide. He declares to be one of those inhabitants of the Bati Canton who best knows about the topography of Mbombole, even though he did not agree to disclose this knowledge to the research team.
