| Description | A recording of a 375-item wordlist of Sáliba elicited in Spanish. The responses are transcribed in IPA (converted from the original Americanist transcription) and aligned to the recording. The wordlist instrument is based on the Swadesh-Rowe list. Sáliba is an endangered language of the Sáliba-Piaroa family spoken by some 3000 people living in the eastern plains of Colombia and in Venezuela. Those over 60 use Sáliba almost exclusively and know little Spanish. Those between 30 and 60 years of age are bilingual in Sáliba and Spanish. Spanish is the mother tongue of those under 30; some of them understand a little Sáliba and know some words and phrases, but they do not use the language regularly. These data represent the variety of Sáliba spoken along the Casanare River in Colombia. |
