Description:ENGLISH: A Trumai woman performs a ritual speech traditionally made by female leaders. This recording is just a sample of the ritual speech, in order to document it. This type of speech is usually made in the center of the village, and it is addressed to all members of the community. The female leader gives advice to people on how to behave, how to treat each other, how to keep harmony in the community. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Uma mulher Trumai faz uma fala ritual tradicionalmente feita pelas mulheres-chefes. Esta gravação é apenas uma amostra da fala ritual, para documentá-la. Este tipo de fala geralmente é feito no centro da aldeia e é dirigido a todos os membros da comunidade. A chefa dá conselhos para as pessoas sobre como se comportar, como tratar os outros, como manter harmonia na comunidade.
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 performs a ritual speech traditionally made by female leaders. The researcher requested her to do so, in order to have an example of this kind of speech, which unfortunately is becoming less frequent among the Trumai.
The speaker talks in Trumai.
The person performing the ritual speech is Speaker12.
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).
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).
