Description:		Sammy recorded a conversation between himself and two friends of his, Eric and Vida who are husband and wife. They talk about things they need to do on Eric's farm, about the outdoor celebrations, mutual friends and us.
		The Avatime project aims to describe and document Avatime. The researchers involved in this project are Rebecca Defina and Saskia van Putten. The project included fieldwork in Ghana in 2008 and was completed in 2009. Outcomes of the project are: (1) audio and video recordings of different genres, of which 13,5 hours have been transcribed and annotated, (2) an Avatime-English wordlist, (3) grammar notes and (4) two Master's theses, one on the expression of motion in Avatime (Saskia van Putten) and one on aspect and mood in Avatime (Rebecca Defina).
		The three friends start out talking about how they need to put a new fence around Eric's farm and what they need to do for that, they greet and talk with several mutual friends who pass by, they talk about us, the researchers, who are staying with Sammy and they talk about the celebrations that have happened for the outdooring of the new paramount chief and the ones that are about to take place.
		Everything is in Avatime, though there is some code switching into English.
		Sammy is recording the conversation and taking part in it, he is talking with his two friends Eric and Vida who are husband and wife. There are also several other people on the recording who walk past and greet these three.
