| 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. | ||
| In this session Tok Man describes an event of death of a young man from his village. Kul Bahadur Baram was his name and he was a policeman working at Beni, the district headquarter of Myagdi district. At night time Maoist insurgents attacked the police post and killed several policemen. Kul Bahadur's dead body was recovered after several days. It had decayed completely. Tok Man had to go to Beni to receive the dead body and perform the last rites. Tok Man describes all about what happened there. | ||
