The UPPPP! project is focused on documenting and describing the phonetics and phonology of the Mayan language Uspanteko, as well as developing corpora and computational resources to further this task. This work is funded by the National Science Foundation (BCS/DEL-1551043/1551666).
We are beginning to edit and post glossed Uspanteko texts for easy perusing outside the AILLA archive. Check out our first, entitled Xoqoneb' , which tells of an encounter between an Uspanteko man and the supernatural lord of the hill Xoqoneb'. For more information on this story, check out an accompanying academic journal article we are prepping for publication. Keep an eye out on our Resources page for more.
The UPPPP! project was recently highlighted in a National Science Foundation video illustrating the value of the Documenting Endangered languages program. You can check out that video here .
