| Title | Phonemica: Collecting Spoken Stories in All Varieties of Chinese |
| Body | From http://www.tealeafnation.com/2013/05/trying-to-save-the-chinese-language-from-itself Phonemica, or xiangyinyuan, is a project to record spoken stories in every one of the thousands of varieties of Chinese in order to preserve both stories and language for future generations. Each Phonemica entry includes a story excerpted from a long dialogue. This method allows for a natural presentation of the interviewee’s speech. Phonemica presents the recordings as well as ethnographic information about the interviewees on an interactive map. A story told by a Sichuanese girl about her negative impressions of Shanghai can be accessed with one click, making Phonemica’s interface more accessible than most academic research on Chinese linguistics.
