Description:ENGLISH: A Trumai woman talks to her granddaughter about artefacts made by the Trumai people. The recording was made by a Trumai young man, with the help of the researcher. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Uma mulher Trumai fala para a neta sobre artefatos feitos pelo povo Trumai. O vídeo foi filmado por um jovem Trumai, com a ajuda da pesquisadora.
The purpose of the project is to document Trumai, a genetically isolate language spoken in Brazil. The archive consists of a collection of texts in the language, plus other kinds of materials relative to the Trumai culture, such as photos, drawings, songs, educational materials, etc.
A Trumai woman talks about artefacts made by the Trumai people. Her granddaughter listens to her. It is not exactly a dialogue, because the granddaughter does not reply (she only listens to her grandmother).
The speaker talks in Trumai.
The talk is performed by a woman, Speaker12. Her granddaughter listens to Speaker12, although she herself does not talk.
Raquel is a Brazilian linguist. She has been working with the Trumai people since 1989. She has a Ph.D. in Linguistics from Rice University (Houston, Texas, U.S.A).
The Granddaughter of Speaker12 lives in the Boa Esperança village. Both her parents are ethnically Trumai, but her father actually speaks Suyá. She speaks Portuguese as her native language. She can understand Trumai and Suyá, although with limitations.
Speaker12 is a native speaker of Trumai. Both her parents were Trumai. She and her brother are the last descendents of the Awaldat group, a Trumai subdivision that used to speak a different dialect of the language. However, this dialect seems to have disappeared (Speaker12's way of speaking is similar to the way of speaking of the other Trumai individuals). Her late husband was Kayabi. She lives with her son and daughter-in-law and has several grandchildren. She is middle-aged (50 or more).
