  • Indigenous Religion, Institutions and Rituals of the Mamanwas of Caraga Region, Philippines
    Asian Journal of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Vol. 1, No.1, 2013 INDIGENOUS RELIGION, INSTITUTIONS AND RITUALS OF THE MAMANWAS OF CARAGA REGION, PHILIPPINES Ramel D. Tomaquin College of Arts and Sciences Surigao del Sur State University Tandag City, Philippines Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Mamanwas, one of the IP communities of Caraga region. Said to be one of the original settlers of Caraga and considered the Negrito group of Mindanao. Only very few literatures and studies written about them. Despite of massive acculturation of other IP groups of the region such the Agusan-Surigao Manobos, the Mansaka/Mandaya, Banwaon, Higaanon and Talaandig. The Mamanwas still on the process of integration to Philippine body-politic. It is in this scenario they were able to retain indigenous religion, institutions and rituals. Thus the study was conducted. It covers on the following sites: Mt. Manganlo in Claver, Lake Mainit in Alegria both Surigao Del Norte, Hitaob in Tandag City, Lubcon and Burgus in Cortes and Sibahay in Lanuza of Surigao Del Sur respectively. The study used ethnographic method with strict adherence of the right of pre- informed consent in accordance with RA 8371 or Indigenous Peoples Right Act of 1997. It can be deduced from the paper that despite of socio- cultural changes of the IP’s of Caraga the Mamanwas were able to retain these practices but for how long? Moreover, socio-cultural change is slowly taking place in the Mamanwa social milieu. Preservation of these worldviews is wanting as a part of national heritage and for posterity.

    International Journal of Linguistics and Literature (IJLL) ISSN(P): 2319-3956; ISSN(E): 2319-3964 Vol. 7, Issue 4, Jun - Jul 2018; 59-64 © IASET AMU INI KAMI : A WORD FORMATION PROCESS OF NOUN IN KAMAYO LANGUAGE, PHILIPPINES Erwin R. Bucjan Surigaodel Sur State University, Tandag, Philippines ABSTRACT The fear of disappearance of the minority languages such as of the Kamayo language in Surigaodel Sur can be an interesting inquiry. Modern Kamayo of today is now heavily borrowing words and phrases from Bisaya, Filipino and English. This can be a sad reality when the danger of which people celebrate one’s language at the expense of others. The researcher’s eagerness to analyze the language of Kamayo which is in danger of extinction is therefore, deem significant in the preservation of such language; hence, this study is conceptualized. The study aims to analyze the word formation of the Kamayo language using the framework of morphological aspects of the language. The study specifically focuses on describing the word formation process of the Kamayo language in terms of nouns. This is a qualitative type of research which utilized a purposive sampling and conducted an interview in gathering the data. It was found in this study that there were eight-word formation processes in the Kamayo language, namely: blending, borrowing, coinage, clipping, inflection, reduplication, acronym, and compounding. The study further revealed that inflection is the most common word formation process found in the Kamayo language. KEYWORDS: Noun, Kamayo, Language, Word Formation Process Article History Received: 22 Apr 2018 | Revised: 18 Jun 2018 | Accepted: 25 Jun 2018 INTRODUCTION People around the world use varied languages to communicate in order to be understood, others communicate through a common language where linguists use the term lingua franca.

  • The Maintenance and Preservation of the Surigaonon Language In
    THE MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION OF THE SURIGAONON LANGUAGE IN CYBERSPACE Francisco Perlas Dumanig and Maya Khemlani David University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract: The number of speakers of the Suriganon language in the province of Surigao del Norte, Philippines is slowly decreasing due to the intrusion of major languages such as English, Cebuano, and Tagalog (Dumanig, 2006). These languages are used in offi cial domains of communication in schools, church services, and government transactions. In sharp contrast, the Surigaonon language is used only in the home and other informal domains of communication and is frequently used orally, usually when talking with friends and family members. Moreover, the above-mentioned three major languages are commonly used in the written form particularly in printed and online newspapers, and orally heard in news stories on the radio and in church services. Because of their dominance, a number of Surigaonon people read these languages in print and online media. The presence of the three major languages threatens the Surgaonon language. Consequently, a Surigaonon website has been developed in the town of Gigaquit, Surigao del Norte to help in maintaining and preserving the Surigaonon language. The creation of a website where Surigaonon speakers can communicate and interact with each other using their own mother tongue might help the younger generations and other Surigaonons who have migrated to other places in the Philippines and other countries to preserve and maintain the language. It is, therefore, the focus of this study to examine how the Surigaonon language is maintained by means of cyberspace and to explore the benefi ts of creating such a website.

  • Descriptive Analysis of the Surigaonon Language Francisco
    Descriptive Analysis of the Surigaonon Language Francisco Perlas Dumanig Abstract This study describes and analyzes the Surigaonon language, an ethnic language spoken by people in Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur and Davao Oriental. More particularly, this paper describes in details the consonant and vowel sounds, stress, intonation patterns, and morphophonemic processes of the Surigaonon language. The data in this study were gathered from 100 participants of different age groups ranging from 15 to 70 years old. The data gathering was conducted using two methods: written communication and oral communication. In this study, some phonemic changes are described and analyzed. These changes are the results of morphophonemic changes, such as deletion, alternation, and metathesis. Furthermore, the findings of the study reveal that the Surigaonon language consists of 17 consonants with 17 sounds and 3 vowels with 5 sounds. It has also 25 clusters and 4 dipthongs, which are similar to the Cebuano language (Rubrico, 1999). Generally, the Surigaonon language is distinct as compared to other languages in the Visayas and Mindanao because it has its own consonant and vowel sounds, stress, intonation patterns and morphophonemic processes. Key terms: Surigaonon language, Surigao, phonemic changes, Surigaonon vowels, Surigaonon consonants 1. Introduction The Philippines is a multilingual and multicultural country, consisting of 165 languages and dialects (Constantino, 1998). In the latest survey of Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) it shows that the Philippines has 92 languages or dialects (SIL, 2003). Except for the Chavacano, a Spanish creole spoken mostly in the Zamboanga Peninsula in Mindanao, all indigenous languages in the Philippines are Austronesian (Paz, 1995).
