Description:		The session records naturally occurring interaction in Nyambat village. The interaction involes three speakers: two speakers of Nyambat village and one speaker of Kelleng village. The recording is carried out by Emmanuel Ngué Um, the Principal Investigator for the Bati project
		The project to Document aspects of Bati language and oral traditions is an original idea of Dr Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso, who had initially surveyed the Bati speech area as part of a pilot research project granted by the Ministry of Scientific Research and Technological Innovation of the Republic of Cameroon. Based on the results of this pilot research which have revealed a situation of critical endangerment of Bati language and ancestral practices, the idea to submit a major documentation project to ELDP has matured. The project has eventually been submitted during the 2015 funding round with Dr Emmanuel Ngué Um as Principal Investigator, and Dr Emmanuel-Moselly Makasso as co-applicant. The project started in October 1st, 2015, and will run till the 30th of September in 2018.
		The interaction is naturally occuring and no specific topic or theme is debated lengthily. The conversation takes place at Mbombog Njambga Nicolas' compound which is situation at the foot of Mbombole, the sacred Cavern which is believed to the cradle of the Basaa-Bati-Mpôô broad community.
		The language in use is Bati; however, each of the speakers resorts to their respective native dialect namely Nyambat for Mbombog Njambga Nicolas and his son Njambga X.
		MBOMBOG NJAMBGA Nicolas is the elderly most living person in Nyambat. He is Mbombog (traditional chief and priest). He lives in the nearest housing to Mbombole, the mythical rock. MBOMBOG NJAMBGA Nicolas has lived continuously in Nyambet since birth. He declares to have been eyewitness to the catholic invasion of Mbombole which eventually led to the erection of a crucifix on top of the Mbombole.
		Mbessi Makondo Gilbert as acted as one of the key informants for the research team during the first year of the project. Due to his extensive multilingualism coupled with a high sense of public network and relations, he has assisted the research team in most of their whereabouts throughout the various consultants who have agreed to lend themselves to research exercises. In some cases, Mbessi Gilbert has acted as the interviewer. This approach has been privileged in surveys dealing with anthropological, cultural and religous aspects. He had been trained by the research team in the monitoring of interviews, and in questionnaire administration, and has proven to be a talented and committed research assistant.
		NJAMBGA X is the son of MBOMBOG NJAMBGA Nicolas.
