Description:The recording was made after a discussion between the consultant and the collector about the topic (in English). The consultant refers to that previous discussion throughout the recording.
This project is devoted to the multi-media documentation of Wovia and Isubu, two Bantu languages of the South-West Province of Cameroon. The project’s task consists in providing an extensive record of the linguistic practices of these two communities whose languages are now fast being replaced by Cameroon Pidgin English, a lingua franca spoken in the whole of the South-West Province. As the two languages do not yet have adequate descriptions, the project also consists in analyzing their respective structures by providing a thorough description of their phonology, morphology, syntax and pragmatics. Work on these topics has been started in mid-2010
MEJ describes burial and widowhood in Wovia.
Meangu Jacobine Ebele Ngoso was born in Bota Land. She married Daniel Ngoso Ikovi in 1977 and moved for a few years to Wovia Island, before they settled in Wovia village on the mainland in 1983. She has three children, one of them Francis Ebele Ngoso. She is the daughter of Lydia Eposi Moto from Bota Land.
