Barupu is a previously undescribed language of the Piore River family, spoken on the north coast of New Guinea in the vicinity of Sissano lagoon, west of Aitape. It is spoken by about 2000 people living immediately south of the lagoon. This deposit consists of Toolbox dictionary files, audio files, and some time-aligned transcripts. Following the deaths of so many elderly people following the 1998 tsunami, there has been a push to preserve and pass on older people’s cultural and linguistic knowledge.
