Documenting Tù'un Na Ñuu Sàvì (San Martín Duraznos Mixtec)
The Endangered Language Documentation Programme (ELDP) provides grants worldwide for the documentation of endangered languages and knowledge. Grantees create audiovisual collections with transcription and translations of endangered languages and practices. These collections are preserved and made freely available through the Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR).
| This is a community-led research project that aims at creating a translated and annotated audio and video corpus of San Martín Duraznos Mixtec spoken in the community of origin in Oaxaca, Mexico. We will create educational materials with a focus on connecting the diaspora community in California with the community of origin through documentation of traditional stories and culinary and agricultural practices, which will contribute to the maintenance of the language. This variety of Mixtec is understudied and has approximately 300 speakers in the community of origin and 50 or more speakers in the diaspora community in Ventura County, California. |
