Dear colleagues,

The new website of the LangueDOC project now features a movie, 'Khinalug
2007: Creating a digital portrait of an endangered language', showing the
fieldwork of a team of Russian linguists documenting Khinalug, a
Nakh-Daghestanian language spoken by some 1700 people in a single village
in Azerbaijan.

The 20 minute film was shot in summer 2007 during a field trip to Khinalug.
It showcases the main activities during documentation: transcribing the
texts, recording phonetic samples, checking and recording the dictionary,
as well as reconstructing a dialogue that was previously recorded only on
paper.

It premiered on February 5, 2008 at the 13th International Morphology
Meeting in Vienna. It will next be screened on February, 26 at the meeting
of the Langues du Caucase workshop in Paris.

The film is free to download in 320x240 resolution. It is now available in
Russian with Engllish subtitles.
