These texts were recorded in 2007 in the upper and lower Vasyugan river areas, and in the Alexandrovo Ob’ river Khanty communities. The texts were narrated by male and female Khanty speakers to the researchers, who also spoke limited Vasyugan Khanty and Alexandrovo Khanty and offered occasional interjections to the narration. The recording of the text was transcribed and translated into Russian, while English glosses and free translation were added at a later time.

 

Most of the texts were recorded on a primary device, the stable state recorder using the external microphone and are stored in the database in the WAVE format. The recording was also performed on a back up device (HiMD MiniDisc recorder) on a separate external microphone to address the risk of equipment failure. As a result, in cases when the primary device did malfunction, some of the recordings were made on a back up device and are stored in the database in the MP3 (MPEG) format with the highest available sampling rate. Also, the back up and working copies of all the sound files were made in MP3 (MPEG) format for faster operation.

The transcribed Eastern Khanty texts are represented in this database in two modes:

Mode i) – a 1-tier notation of the Eastern Khanty vernacular in the IPA transcription (using DoulosSIL Unicode compatible fonts), as seen from the Audio Data page ;

Mode ii) - a unified 3-tier notation: Eastern Khanty vernacular in the IPA transcription (using DoulosSIL Unicode compatible fonts); English language morphemic glossing using the Leipzig glossing rules; and free English language translation of sentences.

 

The corpus of the transcribed texts of the recordings in the 3-tier notation Mode ii) can be accessed from the Language data page. 

 

Some of the texts are also converted into ELAN multimedia format combining the video, audio and text media.

 

The information about the speakers and locations can be viewed on a separate page by clicking on the corresponding links (Speaker info) and (Location info).
