INTRODUCTION Sino-Mongolica is the sub-title of a private missionary paper,2 con­ taining French and Flemish articles, formerly issued among the Catholic 1 ) All footnotes in this paper are written by the translator. The notes written by the authors of these articles, are put into the text itself between brackets ( ) , like in the most cases has been done in the original text. If words or explanations, besides this introduction, have been added by the translator, they are always put between square brackets [ ]. Also all the Chinese characters in this paper have been added by the translator. Concerning the choice of the Chinese characters, there is no need, I think, to insist much on the fact that no philological correctness is meant in the use of the characters. The ordinary characters proposed, are those given by the dictionaries, or those suggested by the explanations of the authors of the articles themselves, or sometimes when no fitting characters could be found, the space has been let open. The intention is simply to provide the readers as much as possible with the words and pronounciations, as well as the characters in order to compare with those of other localities. In many cases the characters given for some special dialect-words, are those found in Fr. Jos Mullie’s Index of Chineesch Taaleigen, or from his article: La Survivance de la Voyelle A de l,Ancien Chinois dans le dialecte pekinois du Nord. Mon. Ser. V I , 1941, p. 73 sq. The transcriptions of the words have been rewritten according to the English usual system. Only in French texts, of course, has the original system of French transcription been copied unchanged with the rest. 2) In Proeve eener Bibliographic van de Missionarissen van Scheut by Fr. W. A. Grootaers and D. Van Coillie, Brussels, 1939, as well as in the excerpts made from the foresaid work in Ostasien-Schrifttum der Missionare von Scheut by M. Eder, Mon. Ser. IV, 2,1940,p. 680-689, Sino-Mongolica has been cited many times besides other reviews, as T,oung-pao,etc., which are all publicly edited reviews. This has induced many readers to think that Sino-Mongolica, which is only a publication “pro manuscripto’,,was such a public review as well, and perhaps already useless steps were made to see them. 1 Folklore V I/2 ,1 2 PAUL SERRUYS missionaries of the Jehol Vicariate. Its real title was “Gedenkschriften der Missionarissen van Oost-Mongolie” and in French "Memoires des Missionnaires de la Mongolie Orientale”• The name ‘‘East Mongolia” is to be explained through the fact that in the beginning (1865) the mission-territory allotted to the Belgian Catholic missionaries of Scheut (C.I.C.M.) was the whole strip north of the Great Wall from Jehol to Ninghsia. Quite early it was broken up into three vicariates, respectively called Ordos Mission, Central Mongolia, and East Mongolia (1883). Sino-Mongolica, to use its shorter name, was founded and kept in life under the strong activities of Father Jos. Mullie, now Professor of Chinese language at the National University of Utrecht. He was the director, the most active collaborator,and at the same time publisher and printer of the paper. In Sino-Mongolica, the missionaries could com­ municate their own experiences, put forth questions and problems of historical and folkloristic importance as well as those of pastoral and practical tenure. Little notes, letters and contributions of all kind were welcome. The problems connected with rural life and folklore, of course, besides mission-history and language, got a great part in the subjects studied. The paper existed from 1920 until 1926. Complete sets of all the issues, became rare, and the existing ones disappeared quickly. Only thirteen years later, Fr. Willem A. Grootaers, according to his own note written on the copy sent to the writer of these lines,had “made a reprint of 25 copies,in Louvain, March 1939. The disposition and pagination of the original ones are faithfully imitated, so that each page has just the same content as in the first edition”. A glance at the titles will show the rich variety and interest of the subjects treated. First Years. 1920-21. First Issue 1 Yerhaert, J. — De Rijstteelt. 1-4.

[The causes of the impoverishment and the fight against it.] Among these articles, we can find some of real and exclusively scientific interest. The one of J. Mullie, Une caracteristique phonologique du dialecte chinois de la Mongolie centrale has been published in T'oung Pao X X III,1924,67-81.3 The article on the lamasery In Ch’ao-yang,by the same author,has been published in a new form in uRevue Ilhistree de I’Exposition Vatican's” (Rome) , I I ,15,1925,486-488,4 Photos, under the title: “Le Sanctttaire Bouddhiste de You-chouen-fou a Tch,a,o-yang-hien, garde et desservi par les Lamas de la Mongolie Orientale •,’ The contribu­ tion of Fr. Seys, was worked out into an article in the Publications du Musee Hoang-ho Pei-ho de T'ien-tsin, 27: Janvier, 1933: Note stir les Oiseaux observes cm Jehol de 1911 a 1932. But there still remain many notes who deserve to be reedited for the benefit of folklorists in China. 3) Cfr. Anthropos, v o l.X X (1925); p. 338. 4 PAUL SERRUYS Some titles, which seem to promise much material on folklore-matters, were however treated from an exclusively pastoral viewpoint, and give us material too general and scanty to be fully translated here. But in spite of this, they tell us many interesting facts from the everyday life of the Chinese people. Some anecdotes told,here and there, throw a sharp light on the circumstances of those early times of mission-activity in the country. It is in the second year, first and second issue, that the review gave some space for communications,with questions and answers exciting the readers at the same time to collect material and informations directly concerning" folklore. This way, traditions and legends were noted and explained. This is the case for the fortress Ming-nan-shan-ch'eng and a local legend about the locality. The 1-3-1919, Fr. Marcel Van Durme writes: “Between Pi-chia-tien and Shang-shao-kuo is a very high mountain, where formerly was a fortress, so the people say; they call it Ming-nan- shan-ch’eng. From this high and steep place, one can see the valley of the Lao River. People say that there was a tower on the mountain, where a fire was lit in times of danger, in order to warn the king of Tai-ming-ch'eng. Once, the fire was lit just for fun, and the king rushed to the place, but there was nothing to do.

  • 6 North and South Ossetia: Old Conflicts and New Fears
    6 North and South Ossetia: Old conflicts and new fears Alan Parastaev Erman village in the high Caucasus mountains of South Ossetia PHOTO: PETER NASMYTH Summary The main source of weapons in South Ossetia during the conflict with Georgian forces in the early 1990s was Chechnya, but towards the end of the conflict arms were also obtained from Russian troops in North Ossetia. Following the end of the conflict in 1992, the unrecognised Republic of South Ossetia began to construct its own security structures. The government has made some attempts to control SALW proliferation and collect weapons from the population, as has the OSCE, though these programmes have had limited success. In North Ossetia it was much easier to acquire weapons from Russian military sources than in the South. North Ossetia fought a short war against the Ingush in 1992, and though relations between the two are now stable, North Ossetia is still very sensitive to events elsewhere in the North Caucasus. Recently, however, the increase in Russian military activity in the region has acted as a stabilising factor. Unofficial estimates of the amount of SALW in North Ossetia range between 20,000 and 50,000. 2 THE CAUCASUS: ARMED AND DIVIDED · NORTH AND SOUTH OSSETIA The years of The events at the end of the 1980s ushered in by perestroika – the move by the leader- conflict ship of the CPSU towards the democratisation of society – had an immediate impact on the social and political situation in South Ossetia and Georgia as a whole. In both Tbilisi and the South Ossetian capital Tskhinval national movements sprang to life which would in time evolve into political parties and associations.

    PAPERS PRESENTED AT THE WORKSHOP ON SOUTHEAST' ASIAN LANGUAGES THEME:' LINGUISTIC PROBLEMS IN MINORITY /MAJORITY GROUP RELATIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIAN COUNTRIES MAHIDOL UNIVERSITY, BANGKOK, 13-17 JANUARY 1975. * * * WHY AND HOW THE "SMALL LANGUAGES" SHOULD BE STUDIED by A.G. Haudricourt* The languages which gene;rally form the object of teaching and study are those spoken by a number of people and endowed with a prolific literature. On the other hand, a question may be raised: why should languages spoken by few people and are never written be studied? There are at least three reasons: 1. Anthropological reason. If one'wishes to know a people scienti­ fically it is necessary to study its language and oral literature for the fact that a language is never written does not mean that it has neither grammar, nor poetry, nor folktales. · 2. Educational reason. If one wishes a minority population to participate in the national life, itis essential that there be schools where the national language is taught. Now,; all educationists know that it is in the first place necessary for children to learn to write in their mother tongue before proceeding to learn the national language wit.h complete success. * Prof~$seur, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Pari$, 2 A.G. Haudricourt 3. Historical reason. Peoples without writing are not without history but this history is not clearly formulated; it is simply woven into the language and thanks to the comparative linguistic methods we are able to establish the various relationships of the language under the question with the other languages of the region.
