Gubeeher is one of the three principal Bainounk languages. This language group is spoken in the Casamance region of southern Senegal. Surviving in only one village with about 500 inhabitants, Gubeeher is threatened by rural exodus and concomitant shift to other languages. This deposit contains a total of 4 hours and 42 minutes of recorded footage. Of this there is 2 hours 9 minutes recorded in audio and 2 hours 33 minutes of video. 20 minutes of these recordings have been transcribed and translated from Gubeeher into French using ELAN.
