This endeavour was
conceived in the Department of Foreign Languages and Linguistics (FLL)
of the University of Dar-es-Salaam (UDSM) in cooperation with
colleagues from University of Gothenburg, in particular the Founding
Professor of African Linguistics at the Department, Tore Janson.
The project has two major objectives. First it seeks to produce a
language atlas showing the geographical location of the Tanzanian
languages, number of speakers for each language, and the genetic
classification of the languages in question.
Second,
the project will produce a series of descriptive studies which will
document the grammar and vocabulary of each of the languages spoken in
Tanzania, excluding the already well-documented Swahili. The materials
put together under this project will form the base of a Tanzanian
languages archives.
The research team is
led by Dr H.R.T. Muzale and Prof. J.M. Rugemalira of FLL, in
collaboration with the African Linguistics group at University of Gothenburg, which was initially headed by Tore
Janson and now by Karsten Legère.

the project was implemented from 2001 to 2004, the 2nd phase comes to
an end in 2008. The entire project is financed by Swedish SIDA/SAREC.
