Our way into this corner of the linguistic world is Dza (also known as Jenjo or just Jen), an endangered language spoken in Nigeria. My guest is Peace Benson, who is actively working to spread awareness of her native language through academic research and infectious enthusiasm. We discuss all sorts of Dza-related topics, from its distinctive vowels to the sociolinguistic situation of Nigeria. Stay tuned to the end for some Swahili content from me.</p><p><br></p><p>Support the language-loving mission by joining the ALILI Patreon here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://patreon.com/ALanguageILoveIs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ALanguageILoveIs⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Clip of Dza (Jenjo) supplied by Peace.</p><p><br></p><p>Host: Dr. Danny Bate</p><p>Guest: Peace Benson</p><p>Audio Mixing and Mastering: Jeremiah McPadden</p><p>Music: Acoustic Guitar by William King</p><p>Artwork: Willow Marler</p>","author_name":"Danny Bate"}
