Language documentation
The recordings made in this project focus on spontaneous communicative events covering a broad range of interactional domains. These include everyday conversation, ritual speech, procedural texts on major activi¬ties, oral history, as well as interactions with speakers from neighboring speech communities. A second focus is on the documentation of the verbal arts still mastered by some older speakers.

Capacity building
In 2006 and 2007 two 10-day workshops for Indonesian linguists were organized in Bali, offering theoretical and practical training in language documentation. In addition to these national workshops, several smaller workshops were organized in Palu and Tolitoli to inform the public about the project and about language endangerment and documentation more generally.
