Presentation
Gabon is a country of great linguistic diversity. Fang, myène, punu, nzebi, and téké form, among others, a living heritage, carried by communities throughout the territory. These languages accompany daily life, knowledge, stories, and ways of expressing the world. Ulanga is the program of the UNIVGA GROUP dedicated to their documentation. It invites everyone, speaker, student, or teacher, to contribute, so that they are better known, taught, and transmitted. The program collects formulations as they are spoken in the village and in the city, in their territorial anchorage. It aims to promote their transmission, to serve education and research, and to constitute an open reference fund, in the service of the country. Everyone can participate. Contributions can be anonymous, associated with a UNIVGA account, or identified by a code assigned by the university. Through this collective work, Ulanga inscribes the languages of Gabon in the university memory, for present and future generations.
