Vietnam Missionaries VIETNAM MISSIONARIES, DALAT, 1972 It was with great joy that the 54th Annual Conference of our Viet Nam mission was able to meet at our new conference center at Dalat for the first time since the 1968 Tet offensive. "WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT ..." Through our colleague, the Rev. David Moore of Indonesia, the Lord reminded us of the greet treasure we have within these earthen vessels - the very Spirit of God who reaches out to men through men. "WE WILL WALK WITH EACH OTHER ..." This year the National Evangelical Church of Viet Nam and the Mission signed an agreement clarifying the relationship by which we will walk together to reach our goal of propagating the Gospel to every person in Viet Nam. The Evangelism Deep and Wide program, which emphasizes the use of prayer cells and careful follow-up of new believers, is proving to be an effective tool toward this goal of church growth. "WE WILL WORK WITH EACH OTHER ..." "But you must help us too. by praying for us." (II Cor. 1:11a LNT) — the desperate need for Scriptures in the Jarai language for the many new converts in the Pleiku area — the tremendous evangelistic opportunity created by hundreds of thousands of refugees crowding every city — the thrilling response among the Vietnamese military in hospitals, prisons and induction camps — the increased yearning for a widespread Holy Spirit revival across all of Viet Nam — a permanent, righteous settlement to this devasting war — the early release of our missionaries still lie/d captive. "ALL PRAISE TO THE FATHER ..." — for blessings of revival, especially in the Tribal churches — for the dedication of youth in spreading the revival fires — for the opening of two bookrooms in DaNang and QuiNhon — for the completion of the entire Bible in the Raday Tribal language — for the miraculous deliverance of Mr. Dieu Huynh, Stieng pastor, and his wife from the besieged city of An Loc. "AND THEY'LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR LOVE ..." Plans and programs are not enough, but as God's love flows through us, Jesus' words will be fulfilled, "Your strong love will prove to the world that you are my disciples." (John 13:35 LNT) We thank you for your prayerful support during the past year. Sincerely.

  • Developing the First Preliminary Dictionary of North American Jarai
    Developing the First Preliminary Dictionary of North American Jarai by Lap Minh Siu, B.A. A Thesis In ANTHROPOLOGY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Jeffrey P. Williams Chair Robert R. Paine Fred Hartmeister Dean of the Graduate School December, 2009 Copyright 2009, Lap Minh Siu Texas Tech University, Lap Minh Siu, December 2009 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Without the support of many, it would have been impossible to complete this unique project. First of all, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to Dr. Jeffrey P. Williams, the chair of my thesis committee, who has been my professor, adviser, and major supporter in documenting the Jarai language even before the idea of developing a dictionary was conceived. Despite his busy schedule as chair of the department, he always stepped in to assist me with my academic endeavors. His expertise in linguistics, as well as his insightful comments and suggestions on this research have been very valuable. I am also very grateful to Dr. Robert Paine, my second committee member. His help in correcting the grammar and organization of the paper, as well as his advice and comments have greatly enhanced the quality of this thesis. I found his suggestion of giving the final product to libraries, linguistic archives, and other researchers particularly useful, since materials in Jarai are scarce. I am greatly indebted to Hip Ksor, E Siu, Blim Nay, and my father Hiom Ro who acted as my Jarai language consultants. They aided me wholeheartedly, despite the fact that I had nothing to offer them for the countless hours and tremendous effort they contributed to this project.

  • Growing up Jarai in Wartime Vietnam
    Dich: Growing Up Jarai in Wartime Vietnam Dich: Growing Up Jarai in Wartime Vietnam ─ The Extraordinary Childhood of a Montagnard Immigrant ─ 戦時下のベトナムで育ったジャライ族のディーク ─モンタニャード系アメリカ人の驚くべき少年時代─ Kenneth T. Kuroiwa ケネス T. クロイワ これまでの論文では、日系アメリカ人とハワイの原住民の生活とその背景について考察してき た。これらの少数民族は、アメリカをアメリカたらしめている多様な人と文化の一部としても捉 えることができる。本論文で注目するモンタニャード族もアメリカの少数民族の一つである。彼 らはベトナムの先住民であり、本国ベトナムの地においてさえも極めて少数である。その少数民 族の目に、ベトナム戦争はどのように映ったのであろうか。ここでは、ジャライ族の一員として ベトナムの中部高原に生まれたモンタニャード系アメリカ人、ディークの少年時代を検証する。 彼がベトナム戦時下に残した絵と写真を通じて、彼が肌身で感じた戦争のトラウマと今日消滅の 危機にあるジャライ／モンタニャード族の生活について報告する。 POPULATION SHIFTS IN VIETNAM’S CENTRAL HIGHLANDS. Through the end of the 1950s, the population of the Central Highlands of Vietnam, estimated at 1.0 - 1.5 million, was almost all Montagnard (Bailey: The People). Other estimates (Montagnard Foundation, for example) have ranged as high as 3.5 million, but the fluid and primitive situation in much of the region and a lack of accurate records make any figure only approximate. With the flight of some inhabitants after the war (to Cambodia and overseas), that number declined somewhat to around one million, although the Montagnard Foundation claims their numbers have been reduced to a few hundred thousand. －197－ 埼玉女子短期大学研究紀要 第 21 号 2010.03 Fig. 2: Detailed view of location of Fig. 1: Arrow indicates location of Kontum District (courtesy of Dr. Kontum in Vietnam highlands (map Blofeld). courtesy of NgaViet). The overall population of the highlands, however, has increased to over four million, with the influx of some three million ethnic Kinh (that is, Vietnamese) being encouraged to resettle in “land development centres,” a policy that actually began with the former South Vietnam government. Similar policies, after a period of suspension, were resumed after reunification (World Directory). The indigenous highland peoples are often thrown together under the umbrella term “Montagnard” (from the French colonial term meaning “mountaineer”), but the actual situation is quite a bit more complex.

  • Sociolinguistic Survey of Jarai in Ratanakiri, Cambodia
    Sociolinguistic survey of Jarai in Ratanakiri, Cambodia Eric Pawley Mee-Sun Pawley International Cooperation Cambodia November 2010 2007-02 Jarai Survey Report v1.2.odt Printed 9. Oct. 2013 i Abstract Eric Pawley [Phnom Penh, Cambodia] This paper presents the report of a sociolinguistic survey of the Jarai variety spoken in Ratanakiri province, Cambodia. Jarai is one of the major “Montagnard” groups of the Vietnamese southern highlands. While Jarai numbers in Cambodia are much smaller, it is still one of the largest highland minority groups. This paper investigates the dialects used among the Jarai speakers in Ratanakiri province, their abilities in Khmer, and their attitudes towards language development. The data indicates that a minority of Jarai can speak some Khmer, but very few can read or write in either Khmer or Jarai. Nearly everyone interviewed expressed interest in learning to read and write Jarai. While many prefer the Roman script used by Jarai in Vietnam over the creation of a new Khmer- based script, most said that they would still be interested in learning a new script if it were made. There are only minor dialect differences between Jarai in Cambodia, but much greater differences with some varieties of Jarai spoken in Vietnam. ii Table of Contents 1 Introduction......................................................................................................................................1 1.1 Geography.................................................................................................................................1

  • LEXICAL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MALAY and VIETNAMESE Tran Thuy Anh, Mai Ngoc Chu, Abdul Latif Hj. Samian & Mohamad Zain
    Asian Journal of Environment, History and Heritage June 2019, Vol.3, Issue. 1, p. 189-209 ISSN 2590-4213 e-ISSN 2590-4310 Published by Malay Arts, Culture and Civilization Research Centre, Institute of the Malay World and Civilization LEXICAL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MALAY AND VIETNAMESE (KESAMAAN LEKSIKAL ANTARA BAHASA MELAYU DAN BAHASA VIETNAM) Tran Thuy Anh, Mai Ngoc Chu, Abdul Latif Hj. Samian & Mohamad Zain Musa Abstract There have been a number of research works on the relationship between Vietnamese and Malay, no agreement on this relation has been reached. Malay is one member of Western Indonesian language branch, sharing the same origin with Cham (mainland Austronesian language group). Meanwhile, Vietnamese belongs to Mon–Khmer language branch of Austro-Asiatic family, which distributes all over Vietnam around mainland Austro-Asiatic languages. There are currently two major ideas about the relation between Vietnamese and Malay: a) They have the same origin; b) They have contact with and borrow from each other. In general, Malay words corresponding to those in Vietnamese might be divided into two main categories: the first one is temporarily called “The inherent mutual base from the ancient time” and the second one is “The adoption of cultural word class in certain historical periods.” The loan words can be identified easily in terms of lexical semantics when absolute correspondence is found in their meanings. Some words may have different meanings in two languages but they belong to the same semantic domain. Building an inventory table for the lexical correspondence between Malay and Vietnamese is not only important for lexicological research but also helps clarify the true nature of this relationship.
