| 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). | ||
| This is a story about the origin of the Avatime people, who made a long journey before they came to the place where they live now. Yao also talks about some adventures of the Avatime people and wars they fought in after they settled in their current place. | ||
| The story is told in English. | ||
| The story is told by Yao, Saskia listens, the unknown woman is also present. | ||
| Fo Yao was one of our main consultants. He helped us transcribe and translate texts, gave us information about cultural practices and helped us in many long elicitation sessions. He was born in Vane and worked as a teacher before he retired. Sadly, he passed away in October 2009. | ||
