  • Towards a History of Bible Translation Among the Dialects and Ethnic Languages of China / Simon Wong 127
    Towards a History of Bible Translation among the Dialects and Ethnic Languages of China / Simon Wong 127 Towards a History of Bible Translation among the Dialects and Ethnic Languages of China Simon Wong* 1. Introduction Study on the history of Bible translation in China may be divided into three categories according to the language typology in China: classical Chinese and Mandarin Chinese, dialects (or more adequately, fangyan), and ethnic minority languages. The history of Bible translation in classical Chinese and Mandarin Chinese has been widely explored.1) More recently, our UBS colleague in the Asia‐Pacific area, Dr. Suee‐yan Yu, has written a very fine study in this area with the title “A Brief History of Bible Translation into Chinese and its Contemporary Implications” and it was published in Journal of Biblical Text Research. By contrast, systematic study of the history of Bible translation among the Chinese dialects and minority languages has received very little attention. Scarcity of information is the most practical problem hindering such research. However, the overwhelming dominance of Mandarin Chinese and consequently of the Mandarin Chinese translations (such as the Chinese Union Version) is perhaps the ultimate cause leading to the marginalization of these important topics in the history of Bible translation. As a continuation to Yu’s study, the present paper attempts to provide a preliminary sketch of the history of Bible translation among the dialects and the minority languages in China. The term “China” in this paper is understood in a broad and inclusive sense including both Mainland China (People’s Republic of China) and Taiwan (Republic of China); this does not necessarily imply any * UBS Asia-Pacific Area Translation Consultant.

  • Assessing the Linguistic Vitality of Miqie: an Endangered Ngwi (Loloish) Language of Yunnan, China
    Vol. 9 (2015), pp. 164–191 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24640 Assessing the Linguistic Vitality of Miqie: An Endangered Ngwi (Loloish) Language of Yunnan, China Katie B. Gao University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Language shift is the process by which a speech community in a contact situation gradu- ally abandons one language in favor of another. Because the causal factors of language shift are largely social (Fishman 1991), languages, groups, and communities with di- verse social situations can be expected to exhibit varying levels of language shift. This paper reports on the linguistic vitality of Miqie [ISO 639-3:yiq], an endangered Central Ngwi/Yi language of Yunnan, China, and identifies the social factors contributing to language shift. Findings from participant interviews in 11 village survey points show there are varying degrees of language endangerment, with intermarriage and access to a major road as primary indicators of shift. This paper evaluates different tools for as- sessing linguistic vitality and uses the Language Endangerment Index (Lee & Van Way in press) to assess Miqie language endangerment at the village level. Language shift information is essential in the description and documentation of a language, especially because the contexts in which the language is spoken may disappear faster than the language itself. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 Language shift is the process by which a speech community in a con- tact situation gradually abandons one language in favor of another. Language shift, leading to language endangerment and eventually language death, is a growing occurrence across the globe, with nearly half of the world’s 7,000 languages classified as endangered in the Catalogue of Endangered Languages (Campbell et al.
