  • Il Nuovo Viaggio Musicale Di Patrizia Laquidara
    VareseNews http://www.varesenews.it Il nuovo viaggio musicale di Patrizia Laquidara Data : 8 febbraio 2011 A fine febbraio sarà distribuito in tutti i negozi “Il canto dell’Anguana” (prodotto da Giancarlo Trenti per Slang Music), già disponibile in versione digitale su iTunes, il viaggio musicale al quale Patrizia Laquidara accompagnata dagli HOTEL RIF, si è dedicata negli ultimi due anni. Questo progetto di musica popolare, particolare e coraggioso, interamente cantato in dialetto alto vicentino, nasce dal suo desiderio di rendere omaggio cantato alla sua terra d’adozione, il Veneto. La scelta di lavorare ad un album di musica popolare, infatti, rappresenta per lei non una svolta improvvisa ma un episodio importante, non casuale nel suo percorso di cantautrice, una scelta motivata dal fatto che PATRIZIA LAQUIDARA già da molti anni porta avanti questa ricerca nell’ambito delle tradizioni popolari, italiane e non, ricerca che l’ha portata a collaborare con grandi artisti della world music (tra cui Ambrogio Sparagna, Elena Ledda, Ben Mandelson, Nicola Parov, Guo Yue, Carlos Nunez, Rodrigo Leao, Davide Van des Sfroos, Stefano Valla, Mauro Palmas). “Le culture popolari sono migranti -racconta Patrizia- bastarde, meticce, impure, cacciatrici di miti. Viaggiano, si mischiano, si abbracciano e fanno nascere nuove culture.” “Il canto dell’Anguana”, un lavoro assai ricco in sonorità, profondità, negli intenti, nella ricerca e nella sua ricchezza letteraria, che si ottiene mettendo insieme più risorse umane e tanta passione, nasce anche dall’unione

  • The Maintenance of Malaysia's Minority Languages Haja
    THE MAINTENANCE OF MALAYSIA’S MINORITY LANGUAGES HAJA MOHIDEEN BIN MOHAMED ALI Department of English Language & Literature International Islamic University Malaysia [email protected] Abstract Malaysia, especially the states of Sabah and Sarawak are home to numerous indigenous languages. According to the Ethnologue Report for Malaysia (2009), Sabah is said to have 52 and Sarawak 46 languages. But among these many languages, many are spoken by a small population. These are in danger of facing extinction due to migration, attitudinal, social, educational and economic factors, mainly. This situation is similar to the many languages which are dying today worldwide. Since the Malay language (Bahasa Malaysia) is a potent force in bringing together the various Bumiputra and Muslim groups, the fate of native languages of these disparate groups is uncertain or worse doomed to die. However, measures by speakers of indigenous languages who comprise a sizeable number, for example, in the case of Sabah, Kadazan, Bajau, Bisaya and Murut languages may still be saved if they are maintained through concerted efforts by the affected communities and if government agencies help to play their part. This paper will discuss the various practical steps that may be undertaken by concerned individuals, the elders and leaders of the target minority communities themselves, language scholars and the state and federal governments to help maintain the minority indigenous languages, with particular emphasis on those from Sabah and Sarawak. Key words- minority language, identity, linguistic diversity, survival, loss Introduction Multilingualism and multiculturalism are indeed assets for a country and its people. The two contribute to the versatility and heterogeneity of a country‟s human landscape.

HSc. 1 Survival of the Minority Kristang Language in Malaysia Haja Mohideen Bin Mohamed Ali, Ph.D. Shamimah Mohideen, M.HSc. Abstract Kristang, also known as the Malaccan Portuguese Creole, has a strong influence of Portuguese, together with the Malay language which is the dominant local language in Malaysia and the Malay-speaking region in Southeast Asia. This Creole is spoken by a microscopic minority of Catholic Christians who are descendants of Portuguese colonizers and Asian settlers in Malacca. Malacca was once a historically renowned state and empire which was coveted by major European powers. The Dutch followed the Portuguese and the last were the British. Because of the very small number of Kristang community members (1200) in the present Portuguese Settlement assigned to them by the authorities, the Kristang language is clearly a language struggling to survive. Its vocabulary is largely Portuguese-based, with a substantial contribution from the Malay language. It has also borrowed from the languages of other colonial European powers. Their vocabulary also includes some loan words from Chinese and Indian languages. This minority language may yet be maintained with the fervent effort of the few thousand remaining Kristang speakers and the Malaysian government, particularly the state government of Melaka (or Malacca).

  • Kodrah Kristang: the Initiative to Revitalize the Kristang Language in Singapore
    Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 19 Documentation and Maintenance of Contact Languages from South Asia to East Asia ed. by Mário Pinharanda-Nunes & Hugo C. Cardoso, pp.35–121 http:/nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/sp19 2 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24906 Kodrah Kristang: The initiative to revitalize the Kristang language in Singapore Kevin Martens Wong National University of Singapore Abstract Kristang is the critically endangered heritage language of the Portuguese-Eurasian community in Singapore and the wider Malayan region, and is spoken by an estimated less than 100 fluent speakers in Singapore. In Singapore, especially, up to 2015, there was almost no known documentation of Kristang, and a declining awareness of its existence, even among the Portuguese-Eurasian community. However, efforts to revitalize Kristang in Singapore under the auspices of the community-based non-profit, multiracial and intergenerational Kodrah Kristang (‘Awaken, Kristang’) initiative since March 2016 appear to have successfully reinvigorated community and public interest in the language; more than 400 individuals, including heritage speakers, children and many people outside the Portuguese-Eurasian community, have joined ongoing free Kodrah Kristang classes, while another 1,400 participated in the inaugural Kristang Language Festival in May 2017, including Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister and the Portuguese Ambassador to Singapore. Unique features of the initiative include the initiative and its associated Portuguese-Eurasian community being situated in the highly urbanized setting of Singapore, a relatively low reliance on financial support, visible, if cautious positive interest from the Singapore state, a multiracial orientation and set of aims that embrace and move beyond the language’s original community of mainly Portuguese-Eurasian speakers, and, by design, a multiracial youth-led core team.

  • Language and Dialect in Italy and the Wider Europe in the Context of the Unesco Atlas
    Language and dialect in Italy and the wider Europe in the context of the unesco Atlas Christopher Moseley Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for inviting me to join this confer- ence on the linguistic situation of the Veneto Region. As the editor of the unesco Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger, which is now in its third edition, I would like to try and put the Veneto Region into a European context, and ultimately a world context. The unesco Atlas grew out of the concept of the «Red Book», which originally was meant to provide a world-wide alert to the loss of biological diversity. By the early Nineteen-nineties, linguists and anthropologists were beginning to notice a parallel between the losses sustained by nature and the losses sustained by human culture. Being an organisation con- cerned with both science and culture, it naturally fell to unesco to take up the call to safeguard cultural as well as biological diversity. The first two editions of this Atlas, in 1996 and 2001, were issued in book form, with an accompanying set of maps, but they did not cover the whole world. They only aimed to provide data about some representative areas of the world where the threat to the smaller indigenous languages was most acute. The first edition, published in 1996, under the general editorship of Stephen Wurm, Professor at the Australia National University, listed 600 languages which were considered endangered, with 53 pages of text and 12 maps. The second edition, in 2001, was also edited by Professor Wurm, completed just before he died.

For a mapping of the languages/dialects of Italy and regional varieties of Italian Introduction Unifi ed late, Italy is well-known for its great linguistic diversity. This diversity has been thoroughly covered by linguistic atlases such as the Italian-Swiss Atlas (Jaberg / Jud 1928-1940), the Italian Linguistic Atlas (Bartoli et al. 1995), or the linguistic atlases of the Dolomites (Goebl 2003, 2012), Sicily (Sottile 2018), Calabria (Krefeld 2019) and the Piedmont mountains (Cugno / Cusan 2019), for which projects have undertaken to digitise a portion of the material (Tisato 2010) 1 . In other countries, too, various projects have aimed to make the dialect data collected in the 20th century more widely accessible: in France (Goebl 2002; Oliviéri et al.
