Description: The collection contains recordings of the Parsi language (Parsi Gujarati or PG) is spoken exclusively by the Zoroastrian community living in India, most of whom refer to themselves as Parsis. Another sub-group consisting of the descendants of Iranian Zoroastrians who have been arriving mainly to Bombay (now Mumbai) since the late 19th - early 20th century, are knows as Iranis and predominantly speak a variety of Parsi distinguished by specific syntactic and lexical features.The recordings encompass various unique Parsi-Zoroastrian rites de passages: initiation (navjote), marriage (arusi), and funeral (dakhmenashini) rituals, the latter exclusively performed by few hereditary corpse-bearers (khandiyars and nasusalars). The collection also has daily conversations as well naturally generated discourses from difference gender, socio-economic, geographical and age dimensions of the Parsi community.Citation bundle: Zykov, Anton. 2021.
