- 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:
- 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).

- Description:
- Opportunistically recorded by me for possible future study in Mali in 1989 (in Gao) and 1991 (in Mopti), while I was working on Songhay languages. One or two speakers were recruited for each session, and were given free choice of topics. They generally talked about history and customs. , 1989-01 features speakers of Tieyaxo from the area of Nouh-Bozo on the Niger R. , 1989-02 features a holy man, speaker of Tigemaxo from the area of Dia. The holy man has a colorful and rapid-fire speaking style and mixed in words and phrases from other languages. , and The 1991 recordings appear to involve varieties of Jenaama-Sorogaama, but have not been analysed. These materials may be listened to, studied, or transcribed as end-users wish.
