Title: Working for one’s family-in-law (nasabiye)

Description: In Zerenkel culture, after the marriage, the young married people must offer some service to their in-laws. The service consists of organizing rural work to his family-in-law twice during the first year of the marriage. The young married girl will be the first to solicit many young girls and boys to go and cultivate her mother-in-law peanut’s field. This is a great event because this is what means that the new married girl definitively accepted the marriage and that she is giving her contribution to her new family. The husband with his friends and other girls will meet the wife’s team in the field and they will constitute a single big team. The husband’s team welcomes the wife’s team and offers them drinks and food.

Project

ID: IGS0257

Name: 0369-IGS0257

Description: Zerenkel is an undocumented and endangered language spoken by circa 3000 rural inhabitants of the Guera region of Chad. This project aims to document a range of communicative events associated with highly endangered practices such as marriage rites, which are being lost to the community, and produce a phonology and grammar sketch. Due to a number of factors, the Zerenkel language and culture is under threat. Fortunately, in 2005, members of the community formed an association to develop and promote their language. This project will be undertaken in close collaboration with the community and aims to develop multilingual language and socio-cultural resources for the community.
