Attribute Value
Methodology
  • The audio recordings were made using a microphone connected to a Macintosh computer using Quicktime .mov format. Copies of these files were made in .wav format for preservation purposes. Most of the files are available in both .mov and .wav formats.
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.

README FILE FOR “Dogon Tebul Ure audio files“

Background:

These audio files are recordings of people speaking the Tebul Ure language, which is part of the Dogon language family. It is spoken in a cluster of villages located at the top of the eastern cliffs of the Dogon (Bandiagara) plateau in east central Mali, and in more recently established satellite villages at the base of the cliffs adjoining the otherwise Jamsay-speaking Bamba village cluster. The recordings were made by Jeffrey Heath in nearby Mori village on the plateau, in 2015. Due to problems with our regular recording equipment, the recordings were made directly onto a Macintosh computer, in .mov format.

The inventory of recordings is as follows:

Tebul 2015 01 tale
Tebul 2015 02 tale
Tebul 2015 03 herding
Tebul 2015 04 farming
Tebul 2015 05 water
Tebul 2015 06 exodus (adventure narrative)

As of this writing (mid 2018), Jeffrey Heath plans to complete the reference grammar of this language (currently in draft form) in 2019 or 2020. Transcriptions and translations of some or all of these recordings will be included at the end of grammar.

If Jeffrey Heath is unable to complete and disseminate these transcriptions and translations by the end of 2020, he grants permission to others to transcribe, translate, or otherwise analyse these recordings.
