LANGUAGE & CULTURAL EDITING

Language Editions

English is the canonical edition. French is a full curated parallel edition. Mooré is published only where competent source material and review exist.

English

Canonical source edition for museum claims, data and revision control.

CURATED EDITION

Français

Edited for Francophone West African readers, with terminology, claim strength and citations reviewed independently from the English prose.

PUBLICATION-GATED

Mooré

Preferred heritage language where authentic transcription, competent translation or reviewed terminology exists. Missing material remains missing rather than being synthesized.
