  • Die Sprachensituation in Mexiko1
    Klaus Zimmermann Die Sprachensituation in Mexiko1 1. Die Situation der Indianersprachen 1.1 Allgemeine Informationen Mexiko ist mit ca. 100 Mio. Einwohnern das größte spanischsprachige Land. Diese Spitzenposition bleibt wohl auf Dauer unangefochten, denn es hat außerdem eine relativ hohe Geburtenrate (4 Kinder pro Frau 1980, 2,5 im Jahre 1990 und 2,2 im Jahre 2000).2 Neben der offiziellen Sprache Spanisch werden in Mexiko nach der Definition und Zählung des Zensus und des Er­ ziehungsministeriums 56 autochthone Indianersprachen gesprochen. Die An­ zahl dieser amerindischen oder indoamerikanischen Sprachen in Mexiko ist noch Gegenstand von Kontroversen. Nach den Kriterien der Sprach- und Dialektunterscheidung der mexikanischen Sprachwissenschaftler müssten eigentlich 77 Sprachen unterschieden werden (Manrique Castañeda 1994: 9- 15). Wenn man noch feinere Kriterien ansetzte, käme man auf eine noch höhere Zahl. Die Autoren des Ethnologue (Grimes 2000), die von feineren Kriterien ausgehen, zählen sogar 290 indigene Sprachen. Nach dem derzeitigen Stand der Sprachverwandtschaftsforschungen können diese Sprachen elf Sprachfamilien zugeordnet werden: Hocano-Coa- huilteca, Chinanteca, Otopame, Oaxaqueña, Huave, Tlapaneca, Totonaca, Mixe, Maya, Yutoazteca (Yutonahua), Tarasca .3 Die früher in Mexiko eben­ falls beheimateten Sprachfamilien Guaycura, Pericú, Mangueña und Cuitla- teca sind ausgestorben. Im Zensus von 2000 wurden 6.044.547 Personen über fünf Jahren er­ fasst, die sich als Sprecher indigener Sprachen identifizieren. Zu dieser Zahl Dem Umfang und der Komplexität der mexikanischen Sprachsituation nach hätten zwei Artikel, die Situation der Indianersprachen und die Situation des Spanischen Aufnahme in Mexiko heute finden sollen. Aus wissenschaftlich-konzeptionellen Gründen des Autors wurden diese zu einem integriert (vgl. letztes Kapitel). 2 Cabrera/Lezama (1996: 249).

  • Intervention and Resistance: Two Mennonite Visions Conflict in Mexico
    Intervention and Resistance: Two Mennonite Visions Conflict in Mexico David M. Quiring, University of Saskatchewan To casual onlookers, the Mennonite world presents a bewildering array of factions, all of whom claim to follow in the tradition of Menno Simons and other early Anabaptists. Although seemingly motivated by sincere desires to discern and follow the will of God, spiritual leaders often have failed to agree on theological issues. As a result, they have led their adherents into separate spiritual enclaves. While some have remained in close physical proximity to the larger society, others have gone to the extreme of seeking geographic isolation. One group that has sought to live secluded from the rest of the world is the Old Colony Church in Mexico. But other Mennonites have not respected that desire for separation. In the past decades, various Mennonite groups have waged what resembles an undeclared war against the Old Co1on:y Mennonite Church in Mexico. Although the rhetoric often resembles that of a war, fortunately both sides ascribe to pacifism and have r~estrictedtheir tactics to non-violent methods of attack and defence. When this research project into the Mexican Mennonites began in the mid-1990s, like many average Canadians and Americans of 84 Journal ofMennonite Studies Mennonite descent, I lacked awareness of the conflict between the Mennonite groups in Mexico. My initial interest in the Mennonites of Latin America, and particularly the Old Colonists, derived from several sources. While curiosity about these obviously quaint people provided reason enough for exploring their history, a mare personal motivation also existed. The Old Colonists and my family share a common ancestry.

    Community and Schism among the Old Colony Mennonites of Belize: A Case Study Tanja Plasil, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Introduction In northern Belize, formerly British Honduras, lies the Altkolonier (Old Colony) Mennonite colony of Shipyard.1 Here the Mennonites form a distinct group within the wider Belizean society because of their appearance, language, religion, and lifestyle. At first glimpse Shipyard may seem like a coherent community, frozen in time, but a closer look reveals that things are quite different from what they appear. The formerly uniform community is showing cracks. A group of people have started to meet to study the Bible, and have begun doubting the old system within which they were living. The old ways do not seem plausible anymore. In order to contain the damage and to keep the rest of the community in line, the preachers have excommunicated members of the Bible Study group, banning them from being a part of community life.2 This 252 Journal of Mennonite Studies means that they, the “outcasts,” face a life of hardship, as they are shunned by even close family members, and do not receive any assistance from former friends or neighbours. To cope with this situation, they have formed a new group within the colony, one that provides mutual support and gives new meaning to their lives. This has worked quite well for some time, but before too long this new group also began splitting into different sub-groups. In this article,3 I focus on the circumstances and social tools that have kept the Altkolonier colony in Belize from becoming part of the wider society for such a long time, and, indeed, how members have kept the community intact.

  • Marriage Patterns Among Old Colony Mennonites in Argentina
    Marrying the Brother’s Wife’s Sister: Marriage Patterns among Old Colony Mennonites in Argentina Lorenzo Cañás Bottos, Norwegian University of Science and Technology Introduction The objective of this article is to assess the existence and analyse the consequences of a particular type of marriage pattern in a Men- nonite colony. For this, I apply an approach to the study of a complex kinship system that stems from studies of elementary kinship systems. That is, considering the kinship network of a whole population as the unit of study instead of concentrating on households or individual genealogies. I demonstrate the widespread existence of a marriage pattern characterised by two siblings marrying with two siblings (sibling or sister exchange within anthropological parlance), or in other words, marrying one’s sibling’s spouse’s sibling. I would like to clarify from the start that this article does not concern itself with the causes of this pattern, but with its consequences (particularly on effects on land redistribution and the marriage possibilities of the following gen- 76 Journal of Mennonite Studies eration). The main argument is that the marriage pattern in question does not lead toward the consolidation of land, but tends to equalise the distribution of wealth. Furthermore, when taking into account unwritten rules on marriage within the colony, this pattern produces the unintended consequence of opening up marriage opportunities to the following generation. This article is based on fieldwork in La Nueva Esperanza, an Old Colony Mennonite settlement in Argentina (for further details on this colony see Cañás Bottos, 2005, 2008a). The main economic activities in the colony are agriculture and dairy cattle breeding.
