Description:The participants were requested by the collector (Netra) to talk about their views on our language documentation project. All the participants of this session are primary level school teachers and also language lovers of Chintang. They have recently formed a committee to preserve their language: Chintang. As all the speakers of this session are very good in Chintang, this session is also very important in terms of linguistic data. The recording took place during the day time at a home in Chintang. The sound qualitiy of this session is good.
This text is about the community's view on our language documentation project. They also express their views on Netra's PHD project in the same language.
The whole talk is in the Chintang language. There are some lexical borrowings from Nepali as well.
