Subject: Online documentation of Kolyma Yukaghir



Online Documentation of Kolyma Yukaghir is now publicly available at

http://ling.uni-konstanz.de/pages/home/nikolaeva/documentation/index.html

This website is a multimedia collection of linguistic and cultural
information on Kolyma Yukaghir, a highly endangered language spoken
by about forty people in North-East Siberia. You will find here 52 original
Yukaghir texts, both as audio recordings and in transcribed, translated
and analysed form.  The texts were recorded in 1980s and 1990s in the
Yukaghir settlements Nelemnoe and Zyrianka. There are also dictionaries
and pictures. Much use is made of cross-references and links between
various kinds of data: textual, grammatical, lexicographic, auditory, and
visual. The documentation was compiled in 2004 by Irina Nikolaeva, with
the online implementation by Thomas Mayer.
