Description:This is a story about the origin place Faremkar (the Farem's place). It is told by two elders from the Farem Sanḡara clan who live in Rouku Gunana now. They took the researcher to Faremkar which is about 3km North-East of Gunana. Faremkar is the origin place of all the Kómnzo speakers, but bears special significance to the Farem Sanḡara. The story contains a topic which is relevant to an ongoing debate about land ownership in Rouku. The debate involves two (or three) different Sanḡara clans in Rouku, namely: Farem, Mutherata and Wazu Sanḡara. The latter two are somewhat intermingled. The two speakers asked the researcher to make sure the other two Sanḡara clans will not listen to the story. The recording should therefore not be open access and anybody wanting to access the recording will have to follow this rule.
This project focuses on collecting multimedia documentation of multiple undescribed Papuan languages – Nen and Nambu (Morehead-Maro) and Kmntso (Tonda). Other nearby languages will have varrying degrees of description, including Idi, Nama, and Neme. All of these languages belong to an almost completely unknown family in Southern New Guinea. Based at the Australian National University in Canberra, plus collaborations with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena, and the PNG National Herbarium, the project will embed a German PhD student (Christian Döhler) in a team including a seasoned field linguist (Nick Evans) and a post-doc (Julia Colleen Miller), two Germany-based typologists (Bernard Comrie and Volker Gast) from the FAUST (Future Archive User Simulation Team), plus participation on targeted fieldtrips by ethnobiologist Chris Healey (ANU) and botanist Kipiro Damas (PNG National Herbarium, Madang). Particular foci of the documentation will be the natural world (especially ethnobotany and ethnoornithology), swidden cultivation, fire management and ethnoecology, mythology, auto-ethnography, ethnomathematics, and microvariation in language use in a situation of daily multilingualism.nichola
