Papua New Guinea Language Recording on reel-to-reel tape: Kuman (Bagman), Nomani

Abstract

N.G. 1958 W.D. Tape 113; Nomane (2); Kuman (B) (1) -- The quality of the recording is poor in places. Approximately 13m of the original tape had no sound, so is not included in the digitised file. At the start of the digitised file, Wurm states, "Nomane continued", followed by 15s of audio. Then there is a stretch of silence lasting approx. 1m25s. There is junk audio for 16s, then another period of silence for 2m45s. Then there is 6m40 of better audio of elicitation session. At 11m20s, a new session begins in which Wurm states, Upper Chimbu". Audio quality is poor due to variable recording speeds throughout. Show more
