Title: Diaspora Talk

Description: A conversation between a junior priest and a leader of the Parsi community in London. As both participants were asked to speak "as they normally speak to each other every day" the first part of the conversation was held completely in English. However, since it is a staged communication produced especially for this recording in the presence of a non-Parsi researcher, these factors might had an influence on the language choice. In the second part of the convesation participants were asked to switch to "Gujarati" and the rest of the recording continued in PG.
