    Title <Article>Phonology of Burmese loanwords in Jinghpaw Author(s) KURABE, Keita Citation 京都大学言語学研究 (2016), 35: 91-128 Issue Date 2016-12-31 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/219015 Right © 京都大学言語学研究室 2016 Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University 京都大学言語学研究 (Kyoto University Linguistic Research) 35 (2016), 91 –128 Phonology of Burmese loanwords in Jinghpaw Keita KURABE Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide a preliminary descriptive account of the phonological properties of Burmese loans in Jinghpaw especially focusing on their segmental phonology. Burmese loan phonology in Jinghpaw is significant in two respects. First, a large portion of Burmese loans, despite the fact that the contact relationship between Burmese and Jinghpaw appears to be of relatively recent ori- gin, retains several phonological properties of Written Burmese that have been lost in the modern language. This fact can be explained in terms of borrowing chains, i.e. Burmese Shan Jinghpaw, where Shan, which has had intensive contact → → with both Burmese and Jinghpaw from the early stages, transferred lexical items of Burmese origin into Jinghpaw. Second, the Jinghpaw lexicon also contains some Burmese loans reflecting the phonology of Modern Burmese. These facts highlight the multistratal nature of Burmese loans in Jinghpaw. A large portion of this paper is devoted to building a lexicon of Burmese loans in Jinghpaw together with loans from other relevant languages whose lexical items entered Jinghpaw through the medium of Burmese.∗ Key words: Burmese, Jinghpaw, Shan, loanwords, contact linguistics 1 Introduction Jinghpaw is a Tibeto-Burman (TB) language spoken primarily in northern Burma (Myan- mar) where, as with other regions of Southeast Asia, intensive contact among speakers ∗ I would like to thank Professor Hideo Sawada and Professor Keisuke Huziwara for their careful reading and helpful suggestions on an earlier draft of this paper.

    Buddhism in Myanmar A Short History by Roger Bischoff © 1996 Contents Preface 1. Earliest Contacts with Buddhism 2. Buddhism in the Mon and Pyu Kingdoms 3. Theravada Buddhism Comes to Pagan 4. Pagan: Flowering and Decline 5. Shan Rule 6. The Myanmar Build an Empire 7. The Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries Notes Bibliography Preface Myanmar, or Burma as the nation has been known throughout history, is one of the major countries following Theravada Buddhism. In recent years Myanmar has attained special eminence as the host for the Sixth Buddhist Council, held in Yangon (Rangoon) between 1954 and 1956, and as the source from which two of the major systems of Vipassana meditation have emanated out into the greater world: the tradition springing from the Venerable Mahasi Sayadaw of Thathana Yeiktha and that springing from Sayagyi U Ba Khin of the International Meditation Centre. This booklet is intended to offer a short history of Buddhism in Myanmar from its origins through the country's loss of independence to Great Britain in the late nineteenth century. I have not dealt with more recent history as this has already been well documented. To write an account of the development of a religion in any country is a delicate and demanding undertaking and one will never be quite satisfied with the result. This booklet does not pretend to be an academic work shedding new light on the subject. It is designed, rather, to provide the interested non-academic reader with a brief overview of the subject. The booklet has been written for the Buddhist Publication Society to complete its series of Wheel titles on the history of the Sasana in the main Theravada Buddhist countries.

    BOOK REVIEWS 307 war and now themselves lie years in the past, it seems justfied to do more than askas the authors do in a mere footnote~to what extent the ethnographic data presented here still coincide with actual reality. Indeed, there is a real fear that all of the information contained in this book might have passed into the realm of otherwise unretrievable his­ torical documents, documents of a culture which today finds itself basically altered， or perhaps even substantially destroyed. Rudiger Schumacher Institut fiir Vergleichende Musikwissenschaft Freie Universitat Berlin Sao Saimong Manghai. The Pddaeng Chronicle and the Jengtung State Chronicle Translated. (Michigan Papers on South and Southeast Asiaト No. 19). Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan, Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies, 1981. xxiv+304 pp. Illustrations, bib­ liography. Cloth US$18.00， IS B N 0-89148-020—X; paper $10.00, IS B N 0-89148-021-8. In the volume under review we read of the following: “ The (Ruler of Jengtung State Prince Konkaeu Intraeng，s) fourth wife had two children: the eldest child was a boy Cau Saymong and a girl Cauang Canfong. These are the children of Nang^ Daeng, the fourth wife ” (§ 325， p. 278). We are indeed very fortunate to have thi& Cau Saymong or Sao Saimong Mangrai, as he appears here, translating the two chroni­ cles of the Pa<Jaeng Monastery and the Jengtung State.

  • Ánanda Thera
    Ánanda Thera Ven. Ananda Ministering the sick Monk Introduction – Reading the story of Ven. Ananda Thera, we come to know the significance of paying homage to Bodhi tree. It was instructed by Buddha to plant a sapling Bodhi tree to represent him – Buddha said to Ananda – 1. “Ánanda bring a sapling from the Bodhi Tree in Buddha Gaya and plant it in Jetavana. He then said: "In my absence, let my devotees pay homage to the great Bodhi Tree that gave me protection during enlightenment. Let the Bodhi Tree be a symbol of my presence. Those who honor the Bodhi. 2. The next significant contribution was the formation of the Bhikkhuni Sangha order for the first time in Buddha’s Ministry. 3. The next, is the Ratana Sutta – Yatana Tote - whenever, some one recite Ratana Sutta – Yatana Tote – we are reminded of Ven. Ananda who first recite this paritta sutta to clean the evil off the city of Vasali. 4. He attained the Arahantship on the day of the First Council of the Dhamma, (Sangayana), post Maha Parinaibbana period. He was declared the guardian of the Dhamma because of his retentive memory. Page 1 of 42 Dhamma Dana Maung Paw, California 5. One very significant lesson we can learn from the Maha-parinibbana Sutta is Buddha’s instruction to Ananda - "Ananda, please prepare a bed for me between the twin sal-trees, with its head to the north. I am tired, and will lie down." When we meditate we should always face towards the Northerly direction to accrue the purity of the Universe.

    INTERNATIONAL BURMA STUDIES CONFERENCE OCTOBER 5-7, 2012 NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY ______________________________________________ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5 PANEL ONE: GLIMPSES OF MYANMAR’S VERY LONG HISTORY (1) REGENCY ROOM ______________________________________________ A LABYRINTH IMAGE IN THE MAHOSADHA JATAKA LILIAN HANDLIN In Pagan’s Mahanipata’s hierarchization, Mahosadha was superseded only by Vessantara, reflecting the narrative’s local resonance and importance, its placement enabled by the noncatenated rebirths serialization in Pagan’s revered materials. Mahosadha, usually associated with perfecting “wisdom” and “knowledge” was popular in Pagan and later, among other matters for its riddles whose existential expressivities informed centuries of legal theories. One scholarly riddle about Mahosadha’s Pagan take is visible in elaborate images of a labyrinth, illustrating the protagonist’s supernatural powers. Later settings elsewhere adapted the labyrinth to illustrate the setting for Vessantara’s exile. The image seeped into Pagan from the eastern Mediterranean, a proverbial drop in the bucket that was the immensely complex interaction between Buddhism and first the ancient world, and later Islam, currently vibrant subjects of scholarly inquiry. What was the significance of this enigmatic construct and what does it suggest about Pagan’s sense of imagination, a concept whose broader implications have recently be explicated in David Shulman’s brilliant More than Real, History of the Imagination in South India ( 2012). SADDHAMMASIRI AND HIS PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE ALEIX RUIZ-FALQUES Saddhammasiri is a well-known grammarian and author from Pagan. It is likely he lived in the 13th/14th centuries A.D. According to Bode’s Pali Literature of Burma (p.20) ‘he was probably among the first to use Burmese as a literary instrument’.

  • The Mediated City Conference: London 01 – 03 April, 2014
    The Mediated City Conference: London 01 – 03 April, 2014 THE MEDIATED CITY – a multidisciplinary conferences examining “the city”…… a virtual, filmic, social, political and physical construct. CONFERENCE 1 Place: London Dates: 01 – 03 April 2014 Ravensbourne The nature of the city is a contested concept. For architects it is generally a question of bricks and mortar – a physical entity. For human geographers it is a place of human interaction and engagement. For filmmakers it is a site for action and futuristic nightmare. For animators and computer programmers it becomes a virtual world – a second life, a SIMulated city. For sociologists, it is a defining aspect of cultural identity. For political activists and theorists, it is a place to ‘occupy’ and the site of the polis. THE MEDIATED CITY conference offers a platform for multiple and diverse examinations of the city. It aims to bring people together from diverse backgrounds and fragment, multiply and reconfigure our readings of the city; to offer multiple and conflicting discipline perspectives. The intention is to share views of the city as physical entity, online community, film set, photographic backdrop, geographical map, sociological case study, political metaphor, digital or video game etc…. to examine it as a mediated and shared phenomenon. Journal: Architectecture_MPS; University: Ravensbourne, London Page | 1 The Mediated City Conference: London 01 – 03 April, 2014 "At Ravensbourne we help shape the future. We encourage our all our students to learn from the past, experiment in the present but always ask: what's next? We want you to discover what's next for you in your education, life, and career.

  • Development of Local Theology of the Chin (Zomi) of the Assemblies of God (Ag) in Myanmar: a Case Study in Contextualization
    DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL THEOLOGY OF THE CHIN (ZOMI) OF THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD (AG) IN MYANMAR: A CASE STUDY IN CONTEXTUALIZATION BY DENISE ROSS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM January 2019 This thesis is dedicated firstly to my loving parents Albert and Hilda Ross from whom I got the work ethic required to complete this research. Secondly, I dedicate it to the Chin people who were generous in telling me their stories, so I offer this completed research as a reflection for even greater understanding and growth. Acknowledgements This thesis took many years to produce, and I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who encouraged and supported me throughout the often painful process. I would like to thank Edmond Tang for his tremendous supervision for several years. He challenged me, above all else, to think. I can never acknowledge or thank him sufficiently for the time and sacrifice he has invested. I would like to thank my supervisor Allan Anderson, who has been so patient and supportive throughout the whole process. I would like to acknowledge him as a pillar of Pentecostal research within the University of Birmingham, UK which has made it an international centre of excellence. It was his own research on contextual theology, especially in mission contexts, which inspired this research. I acknowledge the Chin interviewees and former classmates who willingly shared their time and expertise and their spiritual lives with me. They were so grateful that I chose their people group, so I offer this research back to them, in gratitude.
