This text was written by DB, transcribed, translated and glossed by von Prince, with the help of the Language Committee. | ||
The speaker was in his late twenties in 2009. He has received some secondary education and has been to New Zealand for apple picking. His main language is still Daakaka. | ||
Kilu von Prince has chosen the grammar of Daakaka to be the subject of her dissertation. Her purpose in the DoBeS project "Languages of West Ambrym" is to document and to help preserve the languages Daakaka and Ral kalein by collecting language data, establishing lexical databases and providing local communities with orthographies, dictionaries and printed accounts of traditional stories for use in education. | ||
