The project’s aim is to document cultural events in Cangin, a dialect of Noon (ISO 639-3:snf), whose population is estimated at 9000. Noon is spoken in the Thiès area, a region in the west of Senegal (14°48'0""N / 16°56'0""W). Their culture is very different from that of surrounding groups. This culture is being lost, and the project focuses on documenting ceremonial performances and cultural knowledge in order to preserve a record aof a unique culture. The corpus will further contribute to the speech communities’ efforts to maintain and strengthen their language and culture.
