Description:This session presents a description of visits made by Tokman Baram who is a fluent language speaker of Baram and more useful in recording text. He has produced this descriptive text about visiting different places. This is a relatively long session recorded in Baram office in Kirtipur, Kathmandu in a controlled envoirment.
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.
Tok Man Baram has described his rememberance of what he saw during his visit to Kathmandu. He presented an introduction about different places like Kirtipur and Kathmandu where he had lived and visited last week. He has also given his feelings when he went to the Danchhinkali temple near to Kirtipur.
