Title: A literacy classroom

Description: We produced materials for literacy that people are using to learn reading, writing, calculating in Zerenkel. Specially in this classroom literacy located outside zerenkel land (Bandaro), some Zerenkel are learning their original language because they want to confirm their identity and to be connected to their community. I precised in my report that in Bandaro village, major languages are Dangaleat and Migaama. So the Zerenkel emigrated in this village speak currently those languages and just a few of them try to speak zerenkel language in some circumstances. But now, as we created a center for literacy in zerenkel, they are formally learning their original language without any inferiority complex.

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.
