    Vocabulary of Shingnyag Tibetan: a Dialect of Amdo Tibetan Spoken in Lhagang, Khams Minyag

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Prometheus-Academic Collections Asian and African Languages and Linguistics No.11, 2017 Vocabulary of Shingnyag Tibetan: A Dialect of Amdo Tibetan Spoken in Lhagang, Khams Minyag Suzuki, Hiroyuki IKOS, Universitetet i Oslo / National Museum of Ethnology Sonam Wangmo IKOS, Universitetet i Oslo Lhagang Town, located in Kangding Municipality, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China, is inhabited by many Tibetan pastoralists speaking varieties which are similar to Amdo Tibetan even though it is located at the Minyag Rabgang region of Khams, based on the Tibetan traditional geography. Among the multiple varieties spoken by inhabitants living in Lhagang Town, the Shingyag dialect is spoken in the south-western part of the town. It is somewhat different from other Amdo varieties spoken in Lhagang Town in the phonetic and phonological aspects. This article provides a word list with ca. 1500 words of Shingnyag Tibetan. Keywords: Amdo Tibetan, Minyag Rabgang, dialectology, migration pattern 1. Introduction 2. Phonological overview of Shingnyag Tibetan 3. Principal phonological features of Shingnyag Tibetan 1. Introduction This article aims to provide a word list (including ca. 1500 entries) with a phonological sketch of Shingnyag Tibetan, spoken in Xiya [Shing-nyag]1 Hamlet, located in the south-western part of Tagong [lHa-sgang] Town (henceforth Lhagang Town), Kangding [Dar-mdo] Municipality, Ganzi [dKar-mdzes] Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China (see Figure 1). Lhagang Town is in the easternmost part of Khams based on the traditional Tibetan geography, however, it is inhabited by many Tibetans whose mother tongue is Amdo Tibetan.2 Referring to Qu and Jin (1981), we can see that it is already known that Amdo-speaking Tibetans live in Suzuki, Hiroyuki and Sonam Wangmo.

Drake, Cynthia Beth (Ph.D., English) Dharma Kings and Flying Women: Buddhist Epistemologies in Early Twentieth-Century Indian and British Writing Thesis directed by Associate Professor Laura Winkiel The British fascination with Buddhism and India’s Buddhist roots gave birth to an epistemological framework combining non-dual awareness, compassion, and liberational praxis in early twentieth-century Indian and British writing. Four writers—E.M. Forster, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Lama Yongden, and P.L. Travers—chart a transnational cartography that mark points of location in the flow and emergence of this epistemological framework. To Forster, non- duality is a terrifying rupture and an echo of not merely gross mismanagement, but gross misunderstanding by the British of India and its spiritual legacy.

Since available medical history texts are rare, this one represents a new source of great interest documenting the dynamism of Tibetan medicine between the 1 $th and early 19th centuries, a lesser-known period in the history of medicine in Tibet. Music to Delight All the Sages presents a historical argument concerned with reconciling the author’s various received medical lineages and traditions.

    Problem 4: Tibetan bod,Ýxd. Yubin Zhang April 13, 2019 The Hong Kong Polytechnic University 1/11 Preface: Beyer (1992); DeLancey et al. (2003) The Tibetic languages, consisting of a number of modern dialects such as Central Tibetan (dbs,góx².), Khams Tibetan (xms.) and Amdo Tibetan (a,mdo.), are typically written in the Tibetan alphabet. The writing system of Tibetan is rela- tively conservative, reecting the phonology of the prestigious Classical Tibetan. The modern Tibetan dialects (New Tibetan, NT) have undergone tremendous changes in their phonological systems compared with Classical Tibetan (CT). Roche (2017) 2/11 Question 1: The Wylie Transliteration The Wylie scheme is a method for transliterating the Tibetan script into Latin letters (Wylie, 1959). Some examples of the Wylie transliteration are illustrated in the following table. gi, x, tx, '¸r, mo, Òxl, de, bxÄod, ²x, nx, §x, gi khra ta 'phur mo sbal de brjod nga na lda sog, bsxm, kn, gxy, ïxb, Ã, büos, ße, d½id, êod, xg, sog bsam kun g.yu thab rgyu bzlos skye dpyid spyod brag Read the examples given above and transliterate the following Tibetan texts (13') Answers: bdx², ol, ®x, lugs, bàeb, bx×igs, bxÆx², Êxm, ed, gzx², bdang grol lta lugs bsleb bsgrigs brkyang rnam khyed gzang ¹g, 'ïxms, js, phrug 'thams jus 3/11 Question 1: The Wylie Transliteration Step 1.

    The Supposed Tibetan Or Nepalese Name of Mt. Everest. 127

    The Supposed Tibetan or Nepalese Name of Mt. Everest. 127 THE SUPPOSED TIBETAN OR NEPALESE NAME OF MouNT EvEREST. 1 ROM time to time, and more especially perhaps in continental mountaineering literature, one notices the use of the word Chomo-lungma, as if it were the true and accepted Tibetan name of Mount Everest. And for this usage there is perhaps some reason, since the name is .written across the Mount Everest massif on the map accomp anying The Fight for Everest (1924), and it also app ears in the form Chomo Longmo on t he -!-inch sheet, 'Mount Everest and Environs,' publish ed by the Survey of India in 1930, as well as on the map accomp anying Everest, 1933. Now it will be remembered that during the reconnaissance of Mount Everest in 1921 Lt.-Col. Howard Bury reported that the name Ohomo-lungma was applied by Tibetans to both Everest and its great neighbour Makalu, but that locally Chomo Uri was also used for the former peak. lVIoreover, in Nepal a number of years earlier General Bruce had heard the name Ohomo Lungmo applied to Mount Everest by Sherpa Bhutias.1 Other native names pre­ viously suggested, though without adequate foundation, have been Chholungbu and Chomo Kankar, the latter having been favoured by Douglas Freshfield.2 And it is perhaps needless to mention the misidentification of Gaurisankar with Everest by Schlagintweit in 1855. This has led to frequent use of the former name on German and other atlases, in spite of repeated official and other representa­ tions since the d ays when Capt.

In my first class, I started teaching a Tibetan subject, and realized that traditions and language. Each year sees the passing of precious aged people, and three quarters of the students were unable to understand Tibetan at all.

  • SESSION I : Geographical Names and Sea Names

    SESSION I : Geographical Names and Sea Names

    The 14th International Seminar on Sea Names Geography, Sea Names, and Undersea Feature Names The sense of names Geographical names as dynamic element of a world in motion Isolde Hausner (Chair, Austrian Committee on Geographical Names) 1. Introduction : Toponyms as cultural and historical heritage – names and identity from a linguistic perspective: A speech community denominates the objects of its surrounding natural and cultural area with its specific names inventary which exercises a cognitive function in communication, this means that names have a community building function in society. The function of toponyms and the motives of naming are primarily focused on the natural and cultural surroundings of a society and their achievements on the cultivation of their living space. With the toponyms people create a spatial identity, they feel familiar with the region and in this sense toponyms are part of the cultural and historical heritage of a region. If there are alterations – is it the object itself or any other changes from outside (e.g. natural hazards, political, social alterations) – name changes can and will happen, names can newly be created but names can also disappear. Toponyms have furthermore the function to be a historical and linguistic documentation of a region, because they store information on the natural space and the socio-cultural developments in the course of the centuries. In this context I mention also the name protection on the national and international level. Countries have their own laws and rules to protect their geographical names, and have the right to denominate objects on their territory. The United Nations group of experts on geographical names (UNGEGN) coordinates all these endeavours of the member states and sets standards for the implementation in practice.
