The Spoken Karaim CD: Sound, Text, Lexicon and “Active Morphology” for Language Learning Multimedia

This paper discusses the project “Spoken Karaim: the CD”, describing the origin and evolution of the project, and how multimedia materials can support language learning, particularly in the case of endangered languages. The Spoken Karaim CD is one component of a larger enterprise that aims to document and support the Karaim language (see Csat` , this volume). The CD itself aims to support the Karaim community in its efforts to maintain its language, to provide a companion sound resource for Csató’s forthcoming book Spoken Karaim (Csat` , va gnes, Forthcoming), to preserve valuable spoken texts, and to inform the wider audience about the Karaim’s language and community.
