Subject: Desperately Seeking for Speech Samples


Hi,
I am searching for speech samples (spontaneaous or read speech, 1 min
of speech is great !) from these different languages (at least 1 male
and 1 female). Could anyone provide me with these data?
Of course, I will cite you as contributors in the aknowledgment
section of the forthcoming paper :)
My study intends to quantify vocal dimorphism in several languages and
investigate some cultural evolutionary hypothesis to explain cross
language/culture differences. Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
