Pronounce and record a list of words in an obscure language.
May 1, 2015 5:55 PM
I am studying phonetics. The class's final assignment is to find a speaker of a lesser-spoken language (so, excluding languages such as French, German, Mandarin Chinese, etc), and transcribe their pronunciation of 200-odd short words (or the closest analogue) in that language.
If you're fluent in English and another language with relatively few speakers, and have a recording device of reasonable quality, I would appreciate your assistance.
My sole veto is if the language in question relies heavily on clicks or implosives - as an Australian those sounds are unfamiliar to me still, and I imagine I'd make more transcription errors.
payscale: $30 AUD, negotiable.
job type: contract
