Theanh (Transcription of Oral narrative)

Theanh, as a transcription of oral narrative, refers to the written record of spoken stories, speeches, or oral histories. It captures the spoken words, tone, and sometimes emotional nuances, converting them into a written format for preservation, study, or sharing. This process helps compare oral traditions with written texts, ensuring that valuable cultural knowledge and personal histories are maintained beyond their spoken form. Essentially, Theanh bridges the gap between speech and writing, allowing oral expressions to be documented, analyzed, and understood in a fixed format that can be shared across generations.
