| Description: | The goal of this project is the documentation of the three major languages in the Southwest of the pacific island of Ambrym, Vanuatu. The major objectives include the creation of both academic and local dictionaries, grammatical descriptions of the three languages as well as extensive recordings of the languages with an emphasis on language use in connection with specific cultural pracitces such as sand drawings, dances and songs. | |
| The rat and the kingfisher are playing together. When they see another island across the sea, they want to go there. They carve out a pawpaw to be their boat, but in the middle of the sea, the rat gets hungry and starts eating the fruit. Despite the warnings of the kingfisher, the rat bites a hole into the fruit, which starts sinking. The kingfisher flies away and the rat appeals to various animals of the sea for help. A turtle agrees to rescue it and carries it to the shore on its head. The rat shits onto the turtle's head, before it jumps off to the shore. The enraged turtle then calls for a tidal wave to kill the rat and the rat dies. | ||
| 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. | ||
| CM is a young chief of Wuro. He was the main informant for von Prince during her work on Dalkalaen. | ||
| This written text relates the well-known story of the rat and the kingfisher. | ||
