Primary Audio Archive (2005): Kiamu Dialect Linguistic Fieldwork (Turquoise Minidisc)

This deposit contains the original, unedited audio recordings from the "Turquoise" field minidisc. It is part of the primary acoustic archives collected during the 2005 linguistic fieldwork conducted by Dr. Mathieu Roy in the Lamu archipelago (Kenya).

This archive constitutes a vital component of the foundational corpus used for the detailed phonetic, phonological, and morphological structural analysis of the northern Swahili Kiamu dialect. By capturing unfiltered, in-situ oral data, this raw archive preserves the authentic prosody and phonetic realization of the Kiamu dialect as cited in the author's research. It serves as an essential primary resource for linguists and anthropologists researching the historical linguistic baseline of the Lamu archipelago.
