Steve recently made a video for NTM UK’s Reach conference. We spend about 15 minutes summing up our last term in PNG among the Kovol people.
Investigating dialects
Our orthography survey project seems to have run out of steam. We were asking literate Kovol speakers to answer a multiple-choice survey to indicate their preferences for spelling and symbol choices where we have multiple options. Ideally, we'd have 50 or so returns, but the 12 we have will need to make do as the momentum for finding people to fill it out has petered out. Those 12 were mostly group efforts though, so I guess more people were involved!
