Description: This is a collection of video recordings of narratives, conversations, and songs in the Aro language [tei], a Torricelli language of Papua New Guinea. These recordings were made during two trips to Papua New Guinea, in September-November 2019 and August-October 2022. All of the recordings were made in Brau, Selep, and Mup villages, which are part of Kolembi ward, Palai LLG, Nuku District, Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea.This collection consists of the following: (1) around 16 hours of video recordings of narratives, conversations, and songs; (2) around 8 hours of annotations in ELAN; (3) a description of the orthography developed by the researcher and used throughout this project; (4) a FLEx database with a lexicon and around 8 hours of morphological glossings; (5) around 7 hours of audio recordings of elicitation sessions; (6) around 200 photographs taken during four trips to the Aro speaking area made in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022; (7) an Aro-English-Tok Pisin dictionary; (8) a collection of stories in Aro with translations into English and Tok Pisin.In addition to materials in the Aro language, this collection also contains a few recordings in the Mukweym and Orok languages. Mukweym and Orok are both closely related to Aro and spoken in areas that are geographically adjacent to the Aro speaking area. The level of similarity and mutual intelligibility between Aro, Mukweym, and Orok seems to be roughly comparable to that between Spanish and Portuguese. There are also a few recordings in the Oru and Srenge languages, which are also Torricelli languages, but are not closely related to Aro.There are also several songs in the Tumleo language (an Austronesian language spoken in an area near Aitape, about 30 km to the northwest of the Aro speaking area). These songs are performed by a native speaker of Aro who is not a speaker of the Tumleo language, but knows these songs due to their importance in traditional Aro culture.
