Since 2015, we have been working with our field team in India to document Gutob, an endangered Munda language spoken in Odisha State. Here are some images from recent Gutob fieldwork as well as academic presentations using Gutob data. 

We are pleased to report that we have wrapped up the collection of materials this year, and also launched a new Gutob Talking Dictionary containing close to 2500 entries.

Furthermore, the videos, audio recordings and images from fieldwork among Gutob speakers were archived online with PARADISEC. The language documentation materials include an extensive lexical and grammatical collection in the form of recorded words, phrases, and oral texts. These were collected, annotated and transcribed by Gregory D. S. Anderson, Opino Gomango, Bikram Jora, Bondu Kirsani, Tankadhar Sisa and Gajendra Pradhan, and archived by Anna Luisa Daigneault with digital assistance from Katie Li, Shelby Sands, Murilo da Silva Barros, Henry Wu, Hannah Bishop, and Michael Horlick. The Gutob language documentation project was funded by National Science Foundation Grant Award #1500092.
