Abstract
Ishenyi is a Bantu language spoken in northwest Tanzania near Serengeti National Park. Ishenyi (or Isenye, [ntk], JE45) has around 8,000 speakers and is in a cluster of closely related language varieties with Ikoma and Nata. These recordings accompany the chapter named above that analyses narrative structure in a Domains and Regions framework. The data were collected as part of the Helsinki Mara Project, a research initiative funded by the Kone Foundation. The recordings correspond to transcribed and linguistically analyzed narratives—spoken by Amani Makindi, the Ishenyi language consultant, and recorded by Rasmus Bernander (A) and Antti Laine (B-D) (University of Helsinki) in Musoma, Tanzania—appearing in the book Domains and Regions in Bantu Tense and Aspect, edited by Robert Botne and Axel Fanego Palat.
