Since 2013, we have been steadily working on the documentation of Gta’, an endangered Munda language spoken in India. We are pleased that the Gta’ Talking Dictionary is now online!
We currently have 6800+ words and phrases in the dictionary, with many more to come. Listen to words such as “gusoʔober” (Indian Pangolin) and “ɖweʔ lgoʔ koʔ-ɽeʔ” (long legged greater flamingo) right here: http://talkingdictionary.swarthmore.edu/gta/
Gta’ is also known as Gata’, Didey, Didayi, Didei, Dire, Gataq, Geta’, Getaq, and Gta Asa. The words and phrases were collected, annotated and transcribed by Gregory D. S. Anderson and Opino Gomango.
This project was in part made possible by Grant Award PD 50025-13 from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
