1 DRAFT - 7/20/2006 This document is derived from the draft Dinka-English dictionary, created by SIL International, in 2005. SIL is a not-for-profit, faith-based linguistics organization, specializing in languages that are not spoken widely. Their Dinka-English dictionary was mainly the work of John Duerksen.

Roger Blench produced a Unicode version of the draft Dinka-English dictionary, available from his website. Blench kindly supplied a copy suitable for processing, and gave permission for copying.

Sources: almost all entries are from the SIL/Duerksen work. Entries from Idris' 2004 paper, plus others from the web, are identified by (HFI) and (MJB) respectively.

My understanding of lexicography, Dinka language, and Dinka culture, are very limited. I apologise, in advance, for any errors that are here. I shall be happy to correct them. .

2 DRAFT - 7/20/2006

There is a need for a readily available English to Dinka dictionary. Expert groups in Sudan, Australia, Egypt are working to produce one, and they are the appropriate people to do the job. But it may be some time before they publish, and in the meantime, English-Dinka dictionaries are hard to obtain - at least in Adelaide.

In Dec 2005 SIL International, a not-for-profit linguistics institute based in Texas, and specialising in minor languages, published on the internet, a draft Dinka to English dictionary. That dictionary was mainly the work of John Duerksen, and it incorporated the Dinka-English terms of the earlier Nebel dictionary. Roger Blench in the UK put the document into Unicode, and published it on his website. It was not clear whether SIL were also planning an English- Dinka version, and I could not find another English-Dinka dictionary on the internet.

It occurred to me, that someone with no understanding of Dinka, could adapt the SIL document into English to Dinka, using word processing and database skills - provided that person was careful to preserve the meanings. The result would be a thesaurus or glossary, not a dictionary. However, as there seemed to be nothing else readily available, it seemed worth trying. Roger Blench of Cambridge UK,, who put the dictionary into unicode, kindly provided an MS Word version, gave permission to work with it, and to give the result to others. So, this document is based entirely on the SIL work, and I would like to acknowledge the work of SIL International, John Duerksen, and Roger Blench, in putting together, the documents on which my work is based. All I have done is add a few other entries, and adapt it for Australian usage, since my own contacts are Dinka people living here.

SIL International, Blench and Duerksen deserve especial credit, for undertaking the expensive work of creating a Dinka-English dictionary, and for making their draft dictionary freely available on the internet, where anyone can download it . Creating a dictionary involves expert knowledge and much research. A dictionary is a significant piece of intellectual property. Theae days, intellectual work is often seen merely as intellectual property, and is rapidly placed in private hands, rather than being made available to anyone who wants to use it. This includes intellectual work generated by public institutions, e.g universities. They restrict the public'a access to that knowledge. The knowledge then becomes available, not necessarily to people who need it, or can use it, or have ownership of it - but only to those who have money and can pay, or who are fortunate enough to be able to persuade someone else to pay on their behalf. This trend to regard all discoveries or inventions as private property, has been applied broadly, especially in universities. Sometimes it is clearly beneficial, but it is being applied indiscriminately, and this rather than other needs, are tending to determine what research gets done in those places. I remain to be convinced, that this broad trend, has benefited humanity overall.

This document is the result. It is more of a thesaurus than a dictionary,and you will need a copy of the SIL/Blench Dinka-English document at hand. I have just copied and pasted the definitions, added a few others from the internet, indexed them under English words, and removed some of the repetitions that were needed in Dinka-English, but are no longer needed in English-Dinka.

The result is a rough and ready glossary from English into Dinka, perhaps full of errors, perhaps not very useful, it is hard for me to know. People can make of it what they will!

This is not a dictionary - it is perhaps an early stage in putting one together, but much more work is needed, to make it easy to use, and also to expand the coverage. It is up to others with the appropriate skills to produce definitive, authoritative English to Dinka works. I have taken this task as far as I can.

I welcome comments and corrections, and I intend to update the electronic version from time to time. Anyone who would like an electronic version of this document e.g as MS Word, so they can edit it - please just contact me.

I make this document freely available. You are free to copy it and give it to others - provided your copies refer to the original Dinka-English document, and acknowledge the SIL linguists and Blench, who put that document together.

4 DRAFT - 7/20/2006

Mike Brisco's notes - 8 May 06:

The source material - Dinka to English dictionary, This work is derived from that 200 page dictionary, which at May 2006 was available from Roger Blench's website, listed as 'unpublished material'. I'll refer to this as the Blench/SIL dictionary. You will need a copy of it with you. That dictionary is based on work of linguist John Duerksen, plus Dinka-English material from Arthur Nebel's Dinka-English dictionary. I have simply copied the definitions here. I have also added a few others from Idris paper, plus one or two from the Internet - for each, the source is identified. .

Reliability and proofreading: As a non-expert, my ability to evaluate sources, and proof-read, is limited, and I have not been able to check the final version as thoroughly as I would have liked to. Thus please do not rely fully on what is here - cross-check in the SIL/Blench Dinka-English dictionary, first.

Regional dialects: Dinka has several dialects, with significant differences between them. This has two implications. First, English speakers looking for Dinka terms, need to take account of the dialect spoken, when choosing which of the words of phrases to use. Second, Dinka speakers looking up an English word, may find the word defined in a dialect other than their own. This document is mostly (75%) SW Rek dialect. others are from Bor (4%), Ruweŋ (7%), Agar(8%). The document retains the SIL/Blench 3-letter codes to identify dialect. For full details, see that document. In brief, the codes are:

SWr Rek NE = North-eastern SWt = Tuic (west) NEb Abialaŋ NEd Donjol SC = south central SCa Agar NWE = North-western NWr Ruweŋ SA South-Aliap NWn Ŋɔk (Kordofan) SE = South-Eastern SW = south-western SEb Bor SWm Malual

Biblical references e.g. Mat 10:32: Gospel according to St Matthew, chapter 10, verse 32

Sources: Sources other than the Blench/SIL dictionary are identified. HFI - added from Helene Fatima Idris paper -about 300 of these - see reference list DLIA - added from the Dinka Language Institute of Australia website. DLIA is based in Melbourne MJB -added by the compiler

Dinka sort order a ä b c d, e ë, ɛ, ɛ,̈ g, ɣ, i, ï, j, k, l, m, n, ŋ, o, ö, ɔ, ɔ,̈ p, r, t, u, w, y The sort order still needs rigorous proofreading

Font and typesetting. This document uses Doulos SIL - available free from the SIL website.. Doulos SIL is a Unicode- based font.

5 DRAFT - 7/20/2006 Australian expressions: As this document is intended for people settling in Adelaide, I have added a few common Australian expressions, (e.g. outback) and names of Australian animals, ( e.g. wild dog -dingo) where there is an obvious Dinka expression. These are clearly identified.

Availability of materials: This resource needs much more work, to produce a useful dictionary. I invite and encourage others to take on that task. Copies of the document are available electronically as word files, and as excel spreadsheets - contact me by email.

Basic notes on displaying and typing Dinka characters on a computer Most word processing programs are set up for an English character set. Displaying Dinka documents, and typing in Dinka, can cause problems, as Dinka contains several characters (ŋ, ɔ, ɛ, ɣ, ä, ë, ɛ,̈ ï, ö, ɔ)̈ not standard English fonts. This means that word processing files, and internet files in the Dinka alphabet, may not show up properly on your screen. The computer may show some Dinka characters correctly, but others are replaced by as blanks or small rectangles. So if your text shows up looking like this - you need to install a font on your computer, that contains the Dinka characters. In simple terms, a font is nothing more than a file, that tells the computer, the shape to draw on the screen, to make a certain letter. Most computers come with a variety of fonts already installed, though these have basic English character sets plus a few others. These days there are plenty of other fonts around e.g. to display Japanese characters - and one can often download them from the internet and install the, just like other software Below are some notes on how to do this. The task is not difficult, but if the instructions do not make sense to you, get someone experienced with computing to help you. Fonts with Dinka characters: Modern computes often have fonts ready supplied. For older computers, you may need to download a file with the font in it, from the internet, then install it. As usual, before installing software, make sure it is from a reliable source; use an up to date virus checker to scan the file for viruses; and be aware, that new software, can sometimes affect how older software runs (unlikely with fonts, but not impossible). In brief, you need to download the font (as a file, usually zipped), save it to your hard drive. You may need to unzip it, save the unzipped file to another folder or desktop. The font is usually contained in a true type file, with an icon containing two letter T's. Next, you need to install the font, so your word processing program knows about it and can use it. Simply downloading a file and unzipping it does not install software - you usually need to do additional steps to do that. Go to Settings, then Control panel, then Fonts. Click File - Install new font. Then locate the file with the font in it. The computer will then be able to use the font e.g. in Word You can then see Dinka characters on the screen, type them in your usual programs, print them on your printer, etc. to check if your font is installed correctly, try looking at the DLIA website, and copying some of the Dinka alphabet text from there - the site has a number of stories and poems in Dinka. Paste it into your word processing program - it should display correctly, and you should be able to cut and paste words, move them, bold them etc. Word processing Dinka characters: The Dinka characters behave like any others - e.g. you can change size, make them bold or italic, upper or lower case. You may be able to publish Dinka documents on the web - but this is a little more complicated, as it depends how you save them, and what software is on the browser's computer. The simplest way to add Dinka characters to text, in Word is to use the Insert Symbol function. Remember to select the font (character set) needed. Dinka keyboards: To type Dinka, you need to have the symbols on your keyboard. Dinka lacks some of the letters in the English alphabet (e.g. f, x) , so the usual trick, is to put the Dinka characters on those keys.

6 DRAFT - 7/20/2006 OpenRoad (a program of the State Library of Victoria), together with the Dinka Language Institute of Australia, have produced designs for Dinka keyboard layouts. These are based on the qwerty keyboard, and replace characters that Dinka doesn't use (q,z,s,g,x) with the special Dinka characters. Accents (ä, ë, ɛ,̈ ï, ö, ɔ)̈ are created in two stages just as in writing - you type the basic letter first; then a second keystroke adds the accents. The designs are sensible, and easy to use. Converting your keyboard: There are commercial programs available, which set up a Dinka keyboard on any computer, and allow typists switch rapidly between the English layout and the Dinka layout (e.g using the Caps lock key; or via a menu option) These will be useful for fast 10-finger typists, who need to do a lot of typing in Dinka. Openroad website links to a commercial product, Tavultesoft which seems to specialise in African languages. Licenses cost $50 US for standard use, $24 for non-profit organisation. You need to download the Tavultesoft program, plus a template for the language you want - see their website. Alternatively, if you are skilled in using Word, you could set up small macros and "key shortcuts" to insert the characters quickly in your document. E.g first, record a macro to insert character ɔ from Doulos SIL font. Next, define a combination of keys (e.g CTRL + x) to run the macro. From then on, if you hold down CTRL while you type x, the character ɔ appears in your text. Hold down CTRI + SHIFT + x, produces Ɔ. You can then manipulate the character just like others. Diacritics (the two dots above vowels) can be added in the same way. You first type a key combination to add the letter alone; then a second combination to put the dots on top. You could set these up using the OpenRoad keyboard layout - or put them on the F1-F12 keys on the top of your keyboard.

Acknowledgments: I thank Roger Blench for sending his Lexicon as a word document, and for permission to give this derived document, to others. Much work on the dictionary was carried out by SIL, a not-for- profit linguistics organisation, specialising in minor languages, and my work copies their work extensively. This work was done while I was a volunteer with the Australian Refugee Association, Henley Beach Road, Underdale, Adelaide SA I thank them for support and advice. Thanks also, to various people from Sudan, who are currently living in Adelaide, for help and encouragement, in many ways.
