This archive contains audio recordings for the Multi-CAST Kalamang corpus (Visser 2021), originally published in August 2021 with version 2108 of the Multi-CAST collection (Haig & Schnell 2015). The annotation and documentation files accompanying these files have been archived separately. The recordings are available as WAV and MP3 files.

Kalamang [kara1499] is a Papuan language spoken on the Karas Islands in West Papua, Indonesia. It is spoken by some 130 people in two villages on the biggest of the Karas Islands: Maas and Antalisa. Kalamang is under pressure from the local lingua franca, a variant of Papuan Malay, and is not currently spoken by people born after 1990. The texts in this corpus are all traditional narratives and were recorded in 2018 and 2019 as part of Eline Visser's PhD project at Lund University in Sweden, which resulted in a comprehensive grammar of Kalamang (Visser 2020). All Kalamang linguistic and cultural data have been deposited on the Humanities Lab corpus server at Lund University.
