Starting from the primitive defense form of hamlets, most of the linguistic-ethnic groups used the adjectives meaning “round” to organize the nouns indicating the forms of hamlet – their fundamental community organization. Particularly, the North Bahnaric sub-branch borrowed the nouns of plây, plâi from Austronesian languages to indicate their hamlets. The larger than the hamlets is forms of village, leaving traces in the nouns of plang of Bahnar, kruang of Bru, làng of Viet and làng of Muong. From forms of the community organization of hamlet and village, Viet-Muong people advanced towards establishing nước “nation” as a supreme administrative-political institution. The parallel structure of làng-nước “village-nation” has been maintained until the end of the nineteenth century. Keywords: Community organization; hamlet; village; tribe; nation; Mon-Khmer. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected]; Hieu; AJL2C, 3(4): 16-27, 2020; Article no.AJL2C.59120 1. INTRODUCTION - South Bahnaric sub-branch: Mnong: bon / uan “village, homeland”. Koho: bòn “village, According to linguistic classification, Austro- homeland”. Stieng: bon “village”; poh Asiatic linguistic family that distributes from East “village”; văng / wăng “village”. India to South East Asia and South China roughly consists of three branches: Nicobarese, That situation poses at least three questions: Munda, Mon-Khmer. In which, Mon-Khmer branch is the largest and includes more one (1) It can be said that the Mon-Khmer languages hundred linguistic-ethnic groups living in Vietnam namely Ruc, Muong, Viet, Bru, Ta-oih, Katu, and South East Asia: Bahnar, Brao, Bru, Chrau, Mnong, Koho, Stieng, Ksing Mul are relatively Cua, Koho, Katu, Jeh-Trieng, Hre, Khang, uniform at calling their fundamental community Khmer, Khmu, Ma, Mang, M’nong, O-du/Tay Hat, organization forms through the phonetic Romam, Ta’ioh, Xinh Mul, Sedang, Stieng; Chut, reciprocal and semantic similarity of nouns Muong, Tho, Kinh/Viet, etc. denoting “hamlet, village”. However, as we can see, the south Mon-Khmer languages as Bru, Due to the evolution and acculturation, the Ta-oih, Katu, Sedang, Mnong, Koho, Stieng use community organizations of the Mon-Khmer only nouns with initials being labial consonants v- linguistic-ethnic groups have changed so much. , w-, b-, p- (vil, wel / wil, vel / bhươl, vi, bon / uan, In their family modes, there are different forms of bòn, bon / poh / văng / wăng); while the north patriarchy, biformed, matrilineal, and transition.

Why is there the significant difference village, nation, etc. Therefore, when contacting between the south Mon-Khmer languages with their forms of community organization, people the north ones? could not help being confused by their diversity. For example, the concepts of “hamlet” and (2) Why do the North Bahnaric languages “village” popular in Mon-Khmer linguistic-ethnic as Jeh-Trieng, Sedang, Cua, Hre, Bahnar groups are described by different nouns as use a completely different noun from the follows: Mon-Khmer languages as plây, plâi for denoting “hamlet, village”? Where is this noun - Viet-Muong (Vietic) sub-branch: Ruc: from? 1 kaBêl “hamlet, village”. Muong: quêl / quên “village”; quê “homeland, country”; làng (3) Similarly, in Vietnamese, while quê “village” (Thanh Hoa Province). Viet: quê “homeland” and kẻ “residential unit” have “homeland, country”; kẻ “residential unit”; remained, the noun of làng “village” has 1 làng “village” . appeared too. According to Vietnamese Dictionary [1], quê is “where the family, lineage - Khmuic sub-branch: Ksing Mul: col spent many generations making a living, for “village”. myself often has emotional natural connection”; kẻ is “(old; usually used before a place name). - Katuic sub-branch: Bru: vil “hamlet, village”. Residential unit, where often has markets”. Ta-oih: wel / wil “village”. Katu: vel “village”; Furthermore, làng is “rural residential block bhươl “village”. forming a unit which has separate life in many aspects, and is the lowest administrative unit in - North Bahnaric sub-branch: Jeh-Trieng: feudal time”. Thus, the meaning denoting plây “village”. Sedang: vi “village”; plâi community organization form of clan remains “hamlet”. Cua: plây “village”. Hre: plây vestige in quê and kẻ. However, quê and kẻ “village”. Bahnar: plây “village”. almost no longer have been used to denote fundamental community organization form of the 1 Viet people anymore. That role has been Except Aream language, the languages belonging to Viet- replaced by làng “village”. The Muong people in Muong (Vietic) sub-branch are tone languages.

So where are the nouns of làng “village” example: The notation kaBêl means that the word kaBêl is spoken with tone “ngang” (smooth). from? 17 Hieu; AJL2C, 3(4): 16-27, 2020; Article no.AJL2C.59120 Replying to those questions practically means to to convention of citation, the author uses identify the process of formation and evolution of italics to discriminate titles of mentioned community organization forms of the ethnic works. groups.

  • A New Method of Classification for Tai Textiles
    A New Method of Classification for Tai Textiles Patricia Cheesman Textiles, as part of Southeast Asian traditional clothing and material culture, feature as ethnic identification markers in anthropological studies. Textile scholars struggle with the extremely complex variety of textiles of the Tai peoples and presume that each Tai ethnic group has its own unique dress and textile style. This method of classification assumes what Leach calls “an academic fiction … that in a normal ethnographic situation one ordinarily finds distinct tribes distributed about the map in an orderly fashion with clear-cut boundaries between them” (Leach 1964: 290). Instead, we find different ethnic Tai groups living in the same region wearing the same clothing and the same ethnic group in different regions wearing different clothing. For example: the textiles of the Tai Phuan peoples in Vientiane are different to those of the Tai Phuan in Xiang Khoang or Nam Nguem or Sukhothai. At the same time, the Lao and Tai Lue living in the same region in northern Vietnam weave and wear the same textiles. Some may try to explain the phenomena by calling it “stylistic influence”, but the reality is much more profound. The complete repertoire of a people’s style of dress can be exchanged for another and the common element is geography, not ethnicity. The subject of this paper is to bring to light forty years of in-depth research on Tai textiles and clothing in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos), Thailand and Vietnam to demonstrate that clothing and the historical transformation of practices of social production of textiles are best classified not by ethnicity, but by geographical provenance.

  • The Muong Epic Cycle of "The Birth of the Earth and Water"
    https://doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2019.75.grigoreva THE MUONG EPIC CYCLE OF ‘THE BIRTH OF THE EARTH AND WATER’: MAIN THEMES, MOTIFS, AND CULTURE HEROES Nina Grigoreva Department of Asian and African Studies National Research University Higher School of Economics Saint Petersburg, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This article seeks to introduce into comparative folkloristics an epic tradition of the Muong, one of minority groups in northern Vietnam. More pre- cisely, it deals with the epic cycle of ‘The Birth of the Earth and Water’, which represents an essential part of the Muong ritual narratives. This cycle was pre- sumably created not later than the fifteenth century and was intended for prac- ticing mourning rituals. Although in 2015 ritual narratives of the Muong were recognized as national intangible cultural heritage in Vietnam, the Muong epics have remained practically unknown and unexplored in Western scholarship. The article discusses the most common epic themes, such as creation, man’s origin and reproduction, acquisition of culture, and deeds and fights of the main culture heroes through a number of motifs represented in tales constituting the Muong epic cycle. Comparative analysis of these themes and motifs in global and regional perspectives reveals obvious parallels with their representations in the world folklore as well as some specific variations and local links. Keywords: comparative analysis, culture hero, epic cycle, motif, the Muong, ritual narratives, theme, Vietnam Research into universal archetypes and themes, classification of recurrent motifs as well as analysis of culture heroes and revealing common patterns in their representations became main defining trends within comparative folkloristics during the twentieth century.

Anne OSBORNE SIL International Abstract: The Khmuic languages represent a branch in the north-central region of the Austroasiatic family. While there are several existing Khmuic bibliographies, namely, Smalley (1973), Proschan (1987), Preisig and Simana (n.d.), Renard (2015), and Lund University (2015), this paper seeks to combine, update and organize these materials into a more readily accessible online resource. A brief overview of Khmuic languages and their linguistic features is given. References are organized according to linguistic domain, with some annotations. An updated language index of a dozen Khmuic languages is also included. Keywords: Austroasiatic, Mon-Khmer, Khmuic, bibliography ISO 639-3 codes: bgk, kjm, xao, kjg, khf, xnh, prb, mlf, mra, tyh, pnx, prt, pry, puo 1. Introduction The Ethnologue, (19th edition), lists thirteen Khmuic languages. Khmuic languages are spoken primarily in northern Laos, but also are found in Thailand and Vietnam. The Khmuic language family is a Sub-branch of the Austroasiatic linguistic family that is dispersed throughout Southeast Asia. Since the early 1970s, five major bibliographies on Khmuic languages have been produced. Most of these focus on Khmu, the largest Khmuic language group. Smalley (1973) wrote the first major Khmuic bibliography that gives readers a mid-twentieth century snapshot of Khmu. This work was an expansion of Smalley’s earlier listings of major Khmu works found in Outline of Khmuˀ structure (Smalley 1961a).

  • Re-Imagining “Annam”: a New Analysis of Sino–Viet– Muong Linguistic Contact
    Chinese Southern Diaspora Studies, Volume 4, 2010 南方華裔研究雑志第四卷, 2010 Re-Imagining “Annam”: A New Analysis of Sino–Viet– Muong Linguistic Contact John D. Phan©2010 Abstract: This article examines the linguistic boundaries that separated (or united) Medieval China’s southern territories and the river plains of northern Vietnam at the end of the first millennium C.E. New evidence from Sino–Vietnamese vocabulary demonstrates the existence of a regional dialect of Middle Chinese, spoken in the Ma, Ca, and Red River plains. Preliminary analysis suggests that a “language shift” away from this “Annamese Middle Chinese” in favor of the local, non-Chinese language, was largely responsible for the highly sinicized lexicon of modern Vietnamese. This theory, which challenges the tradition of an essentially literary source for Sino–Vietnamese, may help to explain some of the sinicized features of Vietnamese phonology and syntax as well. The last section of the article presents a tentative hypothesis for the formal emergence of Vietnamese contra its closest relative, Muong. These hypotheses require further testing, and are presented here as a first look at the history of the languages of “Annam”. Key Words: Ancient Vietnam; Sino–Vietnamese; Muong; historical phonology; language contact Introduction This article revisits the notions of “Chinese” and “Vietnamese” in a linguistic context, and as they pertain to the transitional period linking the first and second millennia C.E. New evidence from Sino–Vietnamese (Chinese words borrowed into Vietnamese), and the Vietnamese language’s closest living relative, Muong, demonstrate that traditional notions of the “survival” of the Vietnamese language under centuries of Chinese domination create a false imagining of its history and evolution—one that has been tailored to a political agenda of national identity.
