The work on the Bangime language, spoken by the Bangande people, was carried out as part of a larger linguistic fieldwork project focused on Dogon languages. Bangime is confirmed as a language isolate with no demonstrable linguistic relatives—possibly the only such isolate in West Africa.
For content see the "notes" file inside the work. Most of the recordings are translated and annotated at the end of the reference grammar (see link to Deep Blue Documents).
these and other recordings are data for a reference grammar of Kelenga that, when completed, will be archived in the collection "Bozo languages of Mali (documents)" in Deep Blue Documents. For contents see the "notes" file inside the work. A few of the Kelenga texts are being transcribed, others will be left for others to transcribe or listen to as they wish.
recordings made in Barato village. Referred to as "text 2021-02" and "text 2021-03." Text 2021-03 is transcribed and annotated at the end of the reference grammar (see link to Deep Blue Documents). Text 2021-02 covers a subset of the same content and has not been transcribed as of late 2022. See also "notes" file inside the work.
A subset of the Kelenga recordings are being transcribed and will serve as data for the Kelenga reference grammar which, when finished, will be included in the collection "Bozo languages of Mali (documents)" in Deep Blue Documents (see link).
Videos made in the course of linguistic fieldwork. Includes blacksmithing, hide tanning, weaving, cotton spinning, weaving, reed flute making, pottery making, and construction in Dogon villages, and exotic traditional hair styling in Hombori (Songhay). Some of the videos are "compilations" of many short clips, others are in standard documentary form.

Videos done in the course of linguistic fieldwork in Central Mali. They are presented here in two or three video formats. The videos show how Dogon villagers press oil from nuts and fruit pits, make liquid soda ash (French potasse), and make soap. Some are in standard documentary form, some early ones ("compendiums") are sequences of brief clips. Most were made in Beni village or in the Douentza area.

These videos were shot in Dogon villages. They show how wild foods (insects and plants) are obtained and consumed. Most are presented here in three video formats.
