This session was recorded in Gorkha district of western Nepal. In this session, Tok Man Baram who is a fluent native speaker has told the story about the people changing themselves into tiger and go for search of medicine.
		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 describes about the searching of medicinal herbs in this text. Although this story is related to searching medicinal herbs, it is a kind of mythical story.
