This endeavour was conceived in the Department of Foreign Languages and Linguistics (FLL) of the University of Dar-es-Salaam (UDSM) in cooperation with colleagues from University of Gothenburg, in particular the Founding Professor of African Linguistics at the Department, Tore Janson.
The project has two major objectives. First it seeks to produce a language atlas showing the geographical location of the Tanzanian languages, number of speakers for each language, and the genetic classification of the languages in question.
Second, the project will produce a series of descriptive studies which will document the grammar and vocabulary of each of the languages spoken in Tanzania, excluding the already well-documented Swahili. The materials put together under this project will form the base of a Tanzanian languages archives.
The research team is led by Dr H.R.T. Muzale and Prof. J.M. Rugemalira of FLL, in collaboration with the African Linguistics group at University of Gothenburg, which was initially headed by Tore Janson and now by Karsten Legère
