This is a first attempt to work with one of the recorded and only very basic glossed narratives. Audio is also available. Because it is a first attempt, the transcription has not been reviewed as thoroughly as would be desirable, the gloss is still littered with question marks (especially the verbal suffixes) and the free translation is only a guess.
Also the format is not yet what I would like to do: something like this transcription of a Beja text or this Efate story (using the EOPAS framework).
Take a look at Text02, narrated by Mohammed Yusif Adam on 4/8/87, and recorded by Roland Werner.

This blog is dedicated to the Midob people of Northern Darfur. It is my hope that their beautiful language will continue to enrich the linguistic and cultural landscape of Sudan.
Currently I'm collecting and editing some material and want to make it available here. I'd be glad if other people join in and start contributing - please don't hesitate to contact me (see the contact form at the right). And I hope, that the linguistic community, but also especially the speakers of Midob will benefit from the information gathering here.
