Red Gelao (Shajing) audio word list

<p>On July 27, 2012 in Fengyan, Shajing Township, Qianxi County, Guizhou, China, I recorded the last remaining Red Gelao speaker of Shajing Township, Li Tingju 李庭举 (age 80). She was accompanied by her middle-aged daughter, Li Zhongying 李忠英. Both were illiterate and could not even read or write their own names. Li Tingju was not easy to work with, as she declined to repeat each word three times into my microphone and only wanted to say random words that would randomly come to her memory. She was not fluent in Gelao, and only knew possibly a few dozen to a few hundred vocabulary words, as well as a few songs. Altogether, I only obtained 3 songs and less than 20-30 vocabulary words from her.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
