Bemba — connected speech, three modes.
Every mode below is part of the Bemba frame. Filled modes show their consented totals; empty modes stay visible as the next thing to record. Counts and text are open; corpus audio unlocks with your subscription tier. Every take is consented, de-identified native audio.
Your access: public — text & counts (corpus audio opens at pilot)
Mode 1
Bantu only

Mode 2
Bantu & English (code-switch)
Interleaved Bantu↔English exactly as people speak — a labeled code-switch boundary in every take.
Audio: 🔒 licensed
Mode 3
English only (Bantu-accented)
The same neutral English text read by Bantu L1 speakers — the accent is the asset; frontier ASR trips on it.
