- Language: A'ingae (con)
- Dates: 2020-
- Historical information: This collection comprises materials from the A'ingae Language Documentation Project beginning in 2020. A'ingae (also known as Cofán or Kofán) is an isolate language of Amazonian Ecuador and Colombia, spoken by an estimated 1,500 people as of 2025. The materials here were collected with financial support from National Science Foundation DEL/DLI grant #BCS-1911348/1911428 "Collaborative Research: Perspective Taking and Reported Speech in an Evidentially Rich Language" awarded to Scott AnderBois and Wilson Silva, and comprise a portion of a long term community-based language documentation project.
- Scope and content: There are two main sorts of materials included in this collection. First, there are sociolinguistic interviews conducted in Sinangoé, Dureno, and Dovuno assessing language vitality and attitudes. These consist only of audio files with no corresponding transcription files (bundles 001-068). Second, there are a range of audiovisual recordings of monologues and dialogues (with associated annotation files) representing different genres including traditional stories, hunting and fishing stories, agricultural practices, autobiographical interviews, and instructional narratives, among others. Specific topics were chosen by individual interviewees in consultation with community documentarians.
