I was born in Bukhara City, Uzbekistan, which is now an independent country; we got independence in 1991, from Soviet Union. And I’m doing my Ph.D. in Education Technology here at School of Education, and, um, I like teaching. I’m, um, associate professor at my university at Bukhara State University, and I like to write articles, I like to write books, and I want to defend my dissertation in future — in near future — and create a program — special program — for non-native teachers of English to help them — to help them and to help their students to master English language faster.

This is about — this out the words from the song, OK, which is called “Azizam.” “Azizam” is, uh, “My Dear Person.” OK?

The archive provides:

• Recordings of accent/dialect speakers from the region you select.
• Text of the speakers’ biographical details.
• Scholarly commentary and analysis in some cases.
• In most cases, an orthographic transcription of the speakers’ unscripted speech.  In a small number of cases, you will also find a narrow phonetic transcription of the sample (see Phonetic Transcriptions for a complete list).  The recordings average four minutes in length and feature both the reading of one of two standard passages, and some unscripted speech. The two passages are Comma Gets a Cure (currently our standard passage) and The Rainbow Passage (used in our earliest recordings).
