Texts in Indigenous Languages of the Americas: Texts in Three Varieties of Pesh

Résumé

In their own language, the term Pesh or Pech according to varietal differences ([peʃ], [petʃ]) means ‘people, body’. Pesh is spoken in approximately fifteen villages in eastern Honduras in the Departments of Colón, Olancho and Gracias a Dios. This language is highly endangered. In the 2001 census, 3848 people identified themselves as Pesh but only 500 people spoke the Pesh language, 80% of whom are currently over sixty years old. The volume introduces the typology of Pesh. It is organized into three chapters, each chapter representing a variety of Pesh. The twelve narratives gathered here consist of eight folk narratives and four personal narratives recorded and analyzed during my recent documentation project (Chamoreau 2017a, 2017b).
