In this presentation, I would like to share some of the results of the research on Ihanzu language (F31B, spoken in Central Tanzania), in particular of the linguistic analysis of songs found in traditional fairy tales. The analysis encompasses lexical, structural and functional features of songs. Note: This talk has not gone through a process of peer review, and findings should therefore be treated as preliminary and subject to change. Acknowledgement and citation: Beletskiy, Stanislav. 2021.
