Spreadsheets (xlsx and csv) with flora-fauna terms for groups of native languages of interior West Africa, chiefly east-central Mali (including Dogon) and SW Burkina Faso, compiled over the years on the margins of general fieldwork on these languages. Each language has a column. and For resources including images of Mali flora, see also collection "Mali flora images" - https://doi.org/10.7302/aef4-fk26
Jalkunan is a severely endangered Mande language of southwestern Burkina Faso. A grammar of Jalkunan is in Deep Blue Documents (and at Zenodo). This collection supplements the grammar with audio files (wav, mp3) and lexical spreadsheets (xlsx, csv). Some of the audio recordings (1, 2, and 4) are transcribed at the end of the grammar. and Heath, Jeffrey. A grammar of Jalkunan (Mande, Burkina Faso). 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/139025
Jalkunan is an endangered language of the Mande family, spoken in the village cluster of Blédougou in southwestern Burkina Faso. The lexical work complements a published grammar with texts. See the readme for further information.
This collection contains supplements to reference grammars and texts that are archived at Deep Blue Documents and at Zenodo. The supplements include lexical spreadsheets (xlsx and/or csv) and audio files (some of the audio recordings are transcribed in the grammars or text collections). The initial materials are from Tiefo-N and Tiefo-D. Supplements from other languages (Viemo, Siamou) are in progress and may be added later. These languages are thought to constitute their own branches of Niger-Congo, and in the case of Siamou even that affiliation is contested. Supplements from Jalkunan (a Mande language of SW Burkina Faso) are in a separate collection.
This is the flora-fauna lexical material obtained in the course of more general lexical and grammatical fieldwork on languages of central-eastern Mali (Dogon, Songhay, Bangime, Bozo). The spreadsheets in this work, duplicated in xlsx and csv formants, present our flora-fauna lexicons as of early 2019 for many languages of central-eastern Mali, and certain languages of southwestern Burkina Faso. The Malian data is in two spreadsheets (flora, fauna), while the Burkina data is in separate spreadsheets for flora, birds, fish, insects, lizards and snakes, and mammals.
