variation of minnan in mp3

[alo]

with the advent of technology we can now record minnan dialect in mp3. it would be great if we could find someone who can select a 'real minnan literature' and at the same time read it in different variation of minnan. any suggestion?

well if times permit i will be passing by fujian in middle next year. and then we can select with city i could passby to look for native speakers. right now i know that chauzhou, xiamen, putian, taiwan and quanzhou all have different dictions, don't about fuzhou, sanming or fu'an.

alo,
this is a job for expert but not for you.we already have a xiamen recording of conversation onlinehttp://www.pearstories.org .For minnan ,minnan fangyan dacidian publish next year will take care almost all the problems in different sects although I am not sure they will be a audio cd like old 1982 version or not.
we do need books with audio cd for putian , fuzhou,minbei but i think that theses and articles on these languages are enough at this moment.

Alo,
Prof.Lin lunlun even made teochew tapes along with books.There are no less than 5 dict on hainan,one of them is hainan with english.So,it is not a matter concerns you but we just have to pray books are in print for sale and people are willing to learn different min languages .Audio cd are not enough is a fact.
There will always be students enrol as min languages master and PhD degree.Their theses will be online or we can buy them privately.

first of all hong, pearstories is about a movie create by 'westerner' that ask some volunteer "bystander" to retold the movie they have just watched (and this are done in different language). xiamen minnan was just happen to be one of them. anyway i don't want to waste my time answering to your childish post.

[hong]

if you think are already a minnan expert,go ahead with your project.I couldn't care less.

I find that pearstories is good because the benzi is helpful.the are no minnan real literauture except for songs from ming dynasty.Chanting out tang poem in zhang,xia,quan is 3 sects seems already done by taiwanese author -Yang in Audio CD along with his books on tang poetry

Stop swearing in this tread. I don't like it. People can have different views and engage in vigorous debate. But don't swear and accuse. The forums in this website is relatively clean, polite and academic, that is what i like, and that is what that attract people with real deal of interest.
