Description: Baskeet is spoken by around 60,000 speakers at the fringes of the Ethiopian highlands in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. It is an Omotic language. This collection will focus on the linguistic and ethnographic documentation of endangered literary genres in Baskeet, namely songs, poems, prayers and ceremonial speech, which are being abandoned in the course of rapid socio-cultural changes. The collection will include, firstly, a multi-media documentation (text, audio, video) of these culturally emblematic endangered domains and, secondly, form a contribution to longer-range extensive documentation of Baskeet, with a dictionary at its core.
