Abstract
Primary data was collected from the respective language communities, which also included indiginous stories and other narratives from student compositions, native language media stations, and publishers. This went beyond the conventional religious texts to include other genres of texts that made the corpus more representative of everyday language use in the communities. Text data : 546 texts for Dholuo . Spontaneous Speech data: 512 files (99hr 3min 8sec) for Dholuo.
