Description:ENGLISH: Two Trumai speakers, who are cousins, chat about various issues. The researcher asked permission to record their conversation, set the camera on, and let them talk freely. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Dois falantes de Trumai, que são primos, conversam sobre vários assuntos. A pesquisadora pediu permissão para gravar a conversa, preparou a câmera e deixou que eles falassem livremente.
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.
Two Trumai cousins chat about various issues.
The speakers talk in Trumai.
There are two speakers: Speaker2 and his cousin, Speaker13.
Speaker2 is considered one of the best speakers of the Trumai language. He also has strong knowledge about various aspects of the Trumai culture. He has been living in the city of Canarana since 1996, because of health problems. He lives with his wife and kids. Both his parents were Trumai. Speaker2 is married to a Kamayurá woman, who also speaks Trumai. He is middle-aged, has various kids and grand-kids.
Speaker13 is a native speaker of Trumai. Both his parents were Trumai. He speaks Portuguese as well. He and his sister (Speaker12) are the last descendents of the 'Awaldat' group, a subdivision of the Trumai group that used to speak a different dialect of the language. However, this dialect seems to have disappeared. Speaker13 lives with his wife, children, and grandchildren. He works for the Brazilian Indigenous organization named FUNAI, and often he travels to do his work (he is a boat pilot).
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).
