Description:		This session was recorded in Gorkha district. Tok Man Baram who is a fluent native language speaker has told this session. This is really a dramatic session where Tokman was given a instruction to make this session as like as natural. Whatever, this session is taken in a controlled setting.
		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 who is a fluent speaker was given a topic to make this session. He has presented some ideas as in the natural setting but this is not a natural text. He became ready to say this text when he was given some instruction about the ideas of presentation. Whatever he has presented some household matters from abroad to his friends who live in the village.
		Mr. Tok Man Baram is a fluent speaker of Baram language. We started to work with him from the beginning of the project. and have taken several texts from him. He is a good story teller.His texts are generally interesting, systematically organised and clear.
