# MULTI-CAST: MULTILINGUAL CORPUS OF ANNOTATED SPOKEN TEXTS                   #
###############################################################################

Multi-CAST, the Multilingual Corpus of Annotated Spoken Texts (Haig & Schnell 2015), is a collection of annotated spoken-language corpora from a typologically diverse set of languages. Most of the data stem from documentation projects undertaken on lesser-researched and endangered languages. The texts are overwhelmingly unscripted, non-elicited, monologic narratives. 

This archive contains version 2608 of the Multi-CAST collection (originally published in August 2026). The audio files accompanying these data sets have been archived separately; they can be found via the links in the list below.
