This resource is a multimedia collection of linguistic and cultural
information, which consists of a corpus of original audio and video texts
in several minority languages of Siberia. The texts are accompanied by
transcriptions, translations and analyses, as well as general information
about the language, references, dictionaries, and images, all linked to
present a flexible and interactive exploration space for a variety of users
and to document a wide range of phenomena. The aim is to provide people
from various backgrounds (linguists, anthropologists, speakers, language
planners and the general public) with a database that can serve a variety
of purposes.



At present, the site hosts the data from seven languages: Even, Forest
Enets, Kolyma Yukaghir, Northern Khanty, Tundra Nenets, Tundra Yukaghir and
Udihe.



The audio and video recordings on the site were collected during fieldwork
in Siberia by a team of language specialists
