This video is part of the following collections of related materials.
Chhitkul-Rākchham Language Resource
This collection consists of 73 recordings, amounting to about 8 hours, from an array of discourse genres: ‘monologues’, everyday conversations, picture-based tasks (Jackal and the Crow and The Family Story), autobiographical and historical narratives, procedural (traditional knowledge, festivals, ritualistic life). The corpus features 56 different speakers (44 men and 12 women) between the ages of 20-85. The choice of video was motivated by the necessity to provide rich contextual data. The use of video does justice to the sheer beauty of the surroundings – the far-off mountains of Kinnaur. This collection is a living proof that Chhitkul-Rākchham is distinct from the local lingua franca, Kinnauri, of which it is often said to be a dialect.
