This resource will be made available for download in the Language Bank of Finland in 2023. The resource includes spoken Meänkieli and may also include some Swedish and Finnish. The data was recorded in 2019 at various parishes in Northern Sweden, such as Haaparanta, Matarenki, Pajala, Aapua, Olkamangi, and Pello (the Swedish side). Some of the speakers in the data had also been interviewed earlier in the 1990s. In addition, there are recordings from the same places from as early as the 1960s, which makes it possible to investigate the changes that have taken place in Meänkieli over the course of 53 years. The resource includes 21 audio recordings, most of which are 0.5–1 hour long, and the transcripts aligned with the audio. The total duration of the recordings is 892.07 minutes, i.e., about 15 hours. The data is also available in the ONA archive of the University of Oulu.
