Documentation of Kim and Bom Languages of Sierre Leone (DKB)
This project documents two dying languages spoken in the coastal tidelands of south-eastern Sierra Leone. Only a few speakers use Kim (Krim) while only a few more know Bom; all are bilingual in Mende, the dominant language ion the area. The languages survive only in the remaining speakers’ memories since the languages are no longer spoken on an everyday basis. Documentation of the language and culture is achieved by means of multiple media, performed collaboratively with the Kim and Bom people themselves.
