- Description:
- lexical spreadsheet, pdf of additional notes, and audio recordings. The pdf of additional notes is organized around subsections of the chapter I am writing on "eastern Songhay", part of a book co-authored by Lameen Souag on the Songhay language family. Marense was previously known to Songhay specialists only from a paper by Robert Nicolai on "Songhay central," comparing two Marense dialects with the Songhay of Hombori and that of Tinié village. Nicolai's paper was almost entirely about vocalic and consonantal systems and tonal distinctions and had essentially no material on morphosyntax. This work also includes a spreadsheet with the Marense words gleaned from Nicolai's paper. I note that Nicolai's tapes for this and many other Songhay varieties are being processed for archiving at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. and The recordings have not been transcribed and I have no plans to transcribe them. They should be partially intelligible to speakers of eastern Songhay languages. The topics of the individual audio files are: 0930 agriculture 1 0931 marriage 0932 life in the old days 0933 education of children 0934 travels 0935 taxes 0936 hunting 0937 circumcision 0938 agriculture 2 (crop pests) 0939 indigo dye-ing 0940 riddles

- Description:
- lexical spreadsheets. One .xlsx spreadsheet with separate pages for nouns, numerals, adjectives, verbs, places, and "other" (including adverbs and grammatical morphemes). Each page is also copied as a .csv file, with one additional .csv containing Tiefo-D vocabulary gleaned from K. Winkelmann's German-language dissertation, Die Sprache der Cefo von Daramandugu (Burkina Faso). Previously "published" at Zenodo. , Jinejan, Flaso, Biton, and Masaso are village-like settlements, geographically apart but administratively part of Daramandougou. In sheets with a fifth column "Tiefo-D", this is a compromise form mainly useful for sorting and navigation. , and Tiefo-D is related to Tiefo-N but the two are quite different, mutually unintelligible languages. They are spoken in southwestern Burkina Faso.

- Description:
- These recordings have not been transcribed but are made available to native speakers and to linguists. Tiéyaxo is the sister dialect to Tigemaxo, which together form a language within the Bozo family. The author has completed a study of Tigemaxo but has done no work specifically on Tiéyaxo. Other works in this collection contain Tigemaxo audio files, and one such work contains a Tigemaxo and a Tieyaxo recording from 1989.

- Description:
- Recordings in Tigemaxo from 2022 in Dia village have been transcribed and the audio files are in a separate work ( https://doi.org/10.7302/hagd-xe26). The present work is a much larger set of audio recordings, also in Tigemaxo and from Dia village, but recorded in 2024. It includes ethnohistory and tales. , The ethnohistorical texts are with one main speaker (Mama Sienta), interviewed by Oumar Dienta, both male. The tales are told by a range of male and female speakers, with light backchannel accompaniment by the audience. Each tale in Tigemaxo is accompanied by a repetition or summary in French by Oumar Dienta in a separate file. The author has no plans to transcribe the 2024 recordings and is depositing this audio library for future use by native speakers and/or by linguists. The same is true of the 2019 Tigemaxo/Tiéyaxo recordings ( https://dx.doi.org/10.7302/6632), and the 2021 Tiéyaxo recordings ( https://doi.org/10.7302/2e0d-xk52), which are in two other works in this collection. , and A short catalog of the files in this work, without transcription or translation, appears in J. Heath, "Tigemaxo (Bozo) texts of 2022 in Dia village (Mali)" in Zenodo, of which a backup copy is in Deep Blue Documents (see below).

- Description:
- Tebul Ure is a language of the Dogon language family in east central Mali. It is spoken in a few villages on the heights overlooking the towns of Bamba and Yanda on the eastern cliffs of the Dogon plateau. The lexicon was compiled as part of a broader three-part grammar-texts-lexicon study of this language. and Columns from left to right (omitting blanks) are: Tebul Ure (transcription) finder (English finder list, i.e. usually one-word glosses) recherche (finder list in French), English (full English gloss), français (full French gloss), domain (for types of plant or fauna, e.g. snake), species (genus-species binomials), order/family (for flora-fauna terms); and synonymy (alternative or former species binomials)

- Description:
- Tebul Ure is a Dogon language spoken on the heights in a horseshoe valley between Bamba and Yanda on the eastern edge of the Dogon (Bandiagara) plateau in central Mali. A grammar is drafted but incomplete as of May 2018. Texts were transcribed from dictation in 2012 in the Tebul area, and others were recorded digitally in 2015 at a nearby town on the plateau. Six of the 2015 texts have been transcribed. The texts are included at the end of the grammar. I grant permission to other linguists to transcribe, translate, or analyse any texts that remain untranscribed beginning 2022.

- Description:
- Five short videos, three about food preparation, one about agriculture, and one about catching and cooking a giant pouched rat (Cricetomys)., The videos were incidental byproducts of Heath's linguistic fieldwork on the endangered Pere language spoken in Bonosso village on the outskirts of Tiéningboué city in north central Côte d'Ivoire. The footage was shot by project manager Minkailou Djiguiba as indicated in the credits at the end of each video. , and A much larger number of videos have been made from Mali and Burkina Faso and are deposited in other collections in Deep Blue Data. Many of the videos from all of these countries are also disseminated in a youtube channel that is managed by Djiguiba: https://www.youtube.com/@PratiquesCulturellesMaliBF. For more on Pere language see the Deep Blue Dataset "Pere language lexical datasheets and audio files" ( https://doi.org/10.7302/k6r9-r160) and the grammar cited as “A grammar of Pere (Bere, Mbre) of Côte d'Ivoire“ Under Related items in Deep Blue Documents, below ( https://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/163773) (copy at Zenodo, https://zenodo.org/records/3354193).

- Description:
- an .xlsx spreadsheet with multiple sheets, and each sheet saved in csv format. Sheets are: nouns; flora; fauna; adjectives; numerals; verbs; and other (including adverbs and grammatical morphemes). , The fauna and flora entries are also copied verbatim in the nouns sheet. Species identifications are given where known. The adjectives sheet includes verbs related to the modifying adjectives, and these verbs are also included in the verbs sheet. Noun, adjective, and verb stems often have different tonal forms in different grammatical contexts, and representative forms are presented in different columns in each sheet. For the verbs (except statives), perfective (Pfv) and imperfective (Ipfv) stems are also presented. Many of the adverbs in the "other" sheet are also copied in the nouns sheet. Other columns have codes for lexical tone melody, shape (in CvCv form), and valency (for verbs). English and French translations are provided for each item; for some items additional comments are in another column. , and The .xlsx version is handy for sorting using various criteria (e.g. to get all /H/-melodic stems of CvCv shape). The lexical spreadsheets are designed to be used with the Tigemaxo grammar and the Tigemaxo transcribed/translated texts volume, both in Deep Blue Documents. Similar documents and spreadsheets have been deposited for other Bozo languages covered in this project (Cliffs Jenaama, Jenaama/Sorogaama of Djenné, and Kelenga).
