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.
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).
The 2022 recordings are transcribed and translated, with further commentary, in J. Heath, "Tigemaxo (Bozo) texts of 2022 from Dia village (Mali)" in Deep Blue Documents (see below).
