    If you make an account on ELAR you can hear some cool recordings of Ainu from Bugaeva’s corpus, like this one:

    Haven’t been able to figure out if the ones in the PDF of texts you link above are there or not, though.

    I just remembered something! Although this isn’t a reference or source for the language, per se, there is a manga and associated anime which feature the Ainu people and their language: Golden Kamuy ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Kamuy ) I don’t know much else about it, but I thought that I’d mention it if anyone wanted to check it out.
