  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Zou Phonology Ch
    Zou Phonology Ch. Yashawanta Singh & Lukram Himmat Department of Linguistics Manipur University, Canchipur Abstract Zou language is spoken in the Churachandpur and Chandel Districts, about 65 km. away from Imphal, towards the south west of Manipur and the Chin State and Sagaing Division of Myanmar (Burma).

Many place names were either given new spellings to correct British mistransliterations or replaced by their pre-colonial era names. For example Pagan was replaced by Bagan, Rangoon by Yangon, and Maymyo by Pyin 00 Lwin. However, these new names are not widely used outside (or, for some, inside) the country, and most recent literature has retained the old names and spellings. Hence, to avoid confusion, the old names and spellings will also be retained in this text (including the terms "Burma," "Burman," and "Burmese"). It should be noted that specialists on Burma make an important distinction between "Burman" and "Burmese. II The term Burmese refers to all the people who are citizens of the Union of Burma (Myanmar).

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. 1 Abstract Proto-Kuki-Chin by Kenneth VanBik Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor James A. Matisoff, Chair The Kuki-Chin languages constitute one of the most important subgroups of the great Tibeto-Burman family. This dissertation attempts to reconstruct the sound system of the ancestor language, Proto-Kuki-Chin, by comparing the initial consonants, rhymes, and nominal tones of a large number of KC languages. This study of Proto-Kuki-Chin depends primarily on twelve languages: three from the Central Chin group: Mizo (aka Lushai), Hakha Lai, and Falam Lai; four from the Southem- Plains Chin group: Mindat Cho, Daai, Asho (aka Plains Chin), and Khumi; four from the Northern Chin group: Tedim (aka Tiddim), Paite, Thado-Kuki, and Sizang; and finally one from the Maraic group, namely Mara (aka Lakher). Chapter 1 introduces the Kuki-Chin speakers and their geographical locations, and traces the etymologies of the names Kuki and Chin.

    ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 N3864 L2/10-254 2010-08-02 Title: Introducing the Zolai Script Author: Anshuman Pandey ([email protected]) Status: Individual Contribution Action: For consideration by WG2 and UTC Date: 2010-08-02 1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to bring to the attention of the Unicode Technical Committee (UTC) a writing system called Zolai, which is used by the Zomi-speaking communities of Manipur, India. The present author is in contact with specialists of Zomi languages, history, and culture and with persons involved in the promotion of Zomi heritage.1 Research is ongoing and a preliminary proposal to encode Zolai in the Universal Character Set (UCS) will be submitted once sufficient information has been gathered. It is requested that a tentative allocation be made for Zolai in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (Plane 1) using the information specified below. 2 ‘Zomi’ and ‘Zolai’ Zomi is a collective name by which speakers of the northern languages of the Kuki-Chin subfamily of Tibeto- Burman traditionally identify themselves. The term ‘Zomi’ is also written with syllables transposed as ‘Mizo’, as in the name of the Indian state of Mizoram. The Zomi [zom] macro-linguistic community includes speakers of the Tedim Chin [ctd] language of Myanmar and the Paite [pck] and Vaiphei [vap] languages of Manipur, India. The Zomi also identify themselves as ‘Zou’ in India and ‘Zo’ in Myanmar. The term zolai means ‘script of the Zo’ or ‘script of the highlands’ (zo ‘highlands’; lai ‘writing’).

  • Towards Ethno-Linguistic Governance Khai Minthang Samte
    1 Towards Ethno-Linguistic Governance Khai Minthang Samte Introduction: The United Zou Organization defined the Zou people as, "He who speaks the Zou language and practice the Zou custom is a Zou"1 (Zou ham a ham a, UZO tawndan zuite khu Zou ahi hi). Here, the role of language and culture is indispensable in identity formation and nation building. Enquirers usually used language and culture to determine the identity of a person. During the times of the Judges in the Bible, there was also such pronunciation-based screening with the word "Shibboleth" to determine if the person was an Ephraimites or Gileadites. (Judges 12:6) Such is also true along the Indo-Burmese frontiers of Mizoram state. "R" is the determining factor to identify who belongs to the other side of the border. Once a Mizoram customs officer asked a Burmese national, "Ar ti rawh." He was said to respond, "Vok kati zawk ang." Thus, his nationality was proven. The second most important element to know people group is culture, custom and tradition. While culture changes from time to time, custom and tradition have been inherited from our progenitors from time immemorial although custom undergo modification to meet with the contemporary demand. For the most comprehensive studies of our custom, refer to the Zou Custom Book. Meanwhile, researchers suggested that culture undergo certain changes in a decade. My Mom once told me culture did not change before the advent of Christianity in Zoland. She was of the opinion that changes was brought about by the advent of Christianity on one hand and the military expedition of the British empire on the other.
