== Basketo Text ==
 +
 
 +
This corpus is transcribed from a recorded conversation between four shoolboys in Balt’a village in February of 2014, which is located about 30 minutes by car from the town of Basketo. The informants of this corpus are from 8 to 10 years old. Each sentence is added the number and the alphabetic characters (A-D) for four boys’ identification. (e.g. 1-A) Children in the village use Basketo in everyday conversation, but since the lingua franca is Amharic, they also use Amharic to communicate with other communities, especially at school. They know one or two neighbouring languages (Melo, Gofa etc.) imperfectly, too. Therefore, they use some borrowed words without Basketo inflexions. The boys jokingly tell several fibs and enjoy their conversation. For example, C doesn’t know his grade, and no-one’s exercise books have been stolen, though they might have been hidden as a joke.

Basketo Text

This corpus is transcribed from a recorded conversation between four shoolboys in Balt’a village in February of 2014, which is located about 30 minutes by car from the town of Basketo. The informants of this corpus are from 8 to 10 years old. Each sentence is added the number and the alphabetic characters (A-D) for four boys’ identification. (e.g. 1-A) Children in the village use Basketo in everyday conversation, but since the lingua franca is Amharic, they also use Amharic to communicate with other communities, especially at school. They know one or two neighbouring languages (Melo, Gofa etc.) imperfectly, too. Therefore, they use some borrowed words without Basketo inflexions. The boys jokingly tell several fibs and enjoy their conversation. For example, C doesn’t know his grade, and no-one’s exercise books have been stolen, though they might have been hidden as a joke.
