Notes

This recording is an outcome of an undertaken dialect survey by Maaz and assisted by his uncle Saeeduz Zafar in the eastern part of Mau district to determine the Eastern extent of Azamgarhi. A couple of hundred years ago, some people from Fatehpur village settled in Chandpur — a desolated region situated near the banks of a tributary of the Ghāgrā river. However, their speech has considerably changed from the original, i.e., the Fatehpūr variety, which Mr. Usmani describes in the initial part of the recording.
