Description:		Length: 00:15:08:608 This is one of a series of recordings made during a visit at the speaker's house by the Mamoré river, a motorbike ride of about 45 minutes from Santa Ana del Yacuma. It is already after 6pm, when it is getting dark. A fire was lit against the mosquitos. The last recordings of these series were made when it was already completely dark, so we couldn't see the speaker anymore. Besides us (KH and SB) and the speaker, the two motorbike drivers that had taken us there were present during most of the time, but they do not understand Movima.
		Duración: 00:15:08:608 Aquí hay una parte de una serie de grabaciones que se llevaron a cabo en la casa del hablante durante una visita en el Río Mamoré que queda como 45 minutos en motocicleta de Santa Ana. Esta sesión se realizó despues de las seis de la tarde así que ya había atardecido. Hay una fogata en contra de los mosquitos. Las últimas partes de las grabaciones se llevaron a cabo cuando ya estaba tan obscuro que KH y SB ya no podían ver al hablante. Aparte de KH, SB y el hablante estan presentes dos motociclistas, pero no hablan o entienden Movima.
		The Movima Archive Movima is a genetically unclassified language spoken in the so-called Moxos region in the savannahs of the Bolivian Amazon area. It is still spoken by more than 1,000 people (1,452 in 1996). Most speakers are over 50 years old and bilingual in Spanish. There are only very few children who still learn the language, while children are usually raised in Spanish only. Today, efforts are being made to implement the language at schools. The village Santa Ana del Yacuma, the center of the Movima-speaking area with approximately 12,000 inhabitants, was founded approximately in 1708 by the Jesuits. The Jesuits also converted the the Movima people to Catholicism. There does not seem to be an observable trace of Precolumbian culture (traditions, mythology) left. It is therefore quite striking that the Movimas have kept their native language until today. Since the language is getting lost rapidly, one goal of our data collection is to gather authobiographical information from its last fluent speakers. At the same time, as much as possible other text types were collected, such as dialogues, procedural texts, descriptions etc. The village „fiesta“ on July 26th is culturally very important. It includes processions, bull fights, and dancing. Many people from the country visit the village, and the Movima language is spoken a lot. Therefore much of the data has to do with the fiesta. The Movima project contains data collected between 2001 and 2008 in Santa Ana del Yacuma, Bolivia. Between 2001 and 2004, they were collected by Katharina Haude, then Nijmegen University. Since 2006, they were collected by Silke Beuse and Katharina Haude within the DoBeS project at the University of Cologne. Field work was carried out during the dry season between June and October each year.
		Length: 00:15:08:608 The speaker tells a story about a girl that got drowned and dissapeared. her parents went out for one night and they told their daughter to stay and watch the house and make chicha so that they would have some, when they come home. When the girl is alone strange men come and ask for chicha but the girl does not open the door and so doesn't give them any chicha. Cursing the girl the men leave. In the morning a woman appears and again asks the girl for chicha, and again she won't give out any. So the woman threatens her to watch out, then the earth opens up and lots of fishes come out. The girl, the house and the whole farmland disappears and the only thing the parents see whent they come home is a great lagoon instead.
		Only Movima is used throughout the whole session.
