Description:		This bundle contains a video recording (as soon as the staff at the MPI manages to compress the file) of a sandroing. Although the sandroing itself is safe for children, the explanation which follows the performance reveals that its content is pornographic.
		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.
		FT performed the drawing and explained it, von Prince made the recording and annotated it, with the help of GR.
		GR is a young and bright member of his community and has been suggested to assist me with transcriptions and translations while JM was away from the island.
		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.
		This informant from Emyotungan is a fieldworker of the Cultural Center of Vanuatu and has been involved in attempts to conserve the language prior to the project. As many of the informants, he is very much concerned with the growing influence of Bislama on the language and is trying to avoid using loan words. His knowledge of stories and his commitment to preserve the language have been very helpful.
