Welcome to the Bemba Online Project. \u00a0 Bemba is the most widely spoken language in Zambia, with over 7 million speakers. \u00a0Here you will find a wide range of Bemba language scholarship and resources, including: \u00a0sociolinguistic and grammatical analyses of the Bemba language<\/a>, digital texts and audio in Bemba, an extensive bibliography<\/a>, and numerous links to further resources<\/a>. \u00a0In the future we hope to also include an archived set of Bemba language radio programs from the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC), with selections from the period of 1986-1990.<\/p>\n

The Bemba Online Project is for Bemba language learners, Bemba language speakers, African studies scholars, \u00a0comparative and typological linguistics scholars, and others with interest in language, oral traditions, media, civic engagement, and social change in Africa and beyond.\u00a0 We envision that this project will serve as an inspiration for digital archives in other Zambian languages.<\/p>\n

The Bemba Online Project is a project developed by linguistic anthropologist and media studies scholar Professor Debra Spitulnik Vidali<\/a> (Anthropology, Emory University). \u00a0It is generously supported by the Emory University Halle Institute for Global Learning, the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry, the Emory University Department of Anthropology, and the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship<\/a>. \u00a0Major contributors<\/a> to the project include: Jayne Kangwa, Mubanga Kashoki, Makasa Kasonde, Maidstone Mulenga, Bella Siangonya, and Yuan He.<\/p>\n
