Description:It is a session recorded in Kirtipur, Kathmandu. Tokman Baram who is a fluent language speaker talks about a description of what would be the fear for human being. It is recorded in semi-controlled session. The speaker was given the topic and he spoke on it.
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.

According to him there are too many such things which make men terrified. Landslides, lightning, floods are terrifying natural phenomena.
