Description:		It is a session recorded in Kirtipur, Kathmandu. The speaker talks about the story which is remained as a mythical narration in Nepalese society. It is 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.
