Spoken Afrikaans Language Ressource (SALAR)

The corpus contains speech of adult (above the age of 18) other tongue speakers of Afrikaans. It is designed so as to expose the relations between phonetic variation and factors such as regional accent, ender, speech mode (read versus spontaneous) and speech rate (normal versus fast). The corpus is designed on the basis of the following principles:
(1) The speakers are sampled according to region, and, as far as possible, also according to race so as to attain as rich a pallet of accents as possible.
(2) the speakers are also balanced per gender.
(3) the same subjects are recorded in three different modes. They provide normally read speech, fast read speech and spontaneous speech.
When the data collection will be finished, the corpus will contain read speech from 150 subjects, as well as spontaneous speech of 90 of these 150 subjects.
