LINGUIST List 13.936: Typology: Voeltz & Killian-Hatz, Ideophones Ideophones are present in all languages of the world: "They are a universal category."; 2.

Uganda -- Ethnic Groups Central Sudanic languages, whose speakers also arrived in Uganda from the north over a period of centuries, are spoken by the Lugbara, Madi, and a few small groups in the northwestern corner of the country. Central Sudanic languages are spoken by about 6% of Ugandans, most of whom live in the northwest. Ugandans can be classified into several broad linguistic groups: the Bantu-speaking majority, who live in the central, southern and western parts of the country; and non-Bantu speakers who occupy the eastern, northern and northwestern portions of the country (who may in turn be sub-divided into Nilotic and Central Sudanic peoples). www.sas.upenn.edu /African_Studies/NEH/u-ethn.html   (1999 words)

Uganda -- Ethnic Groups The largest Nilotic populations in present-day Uganda are the Iteso and Karamojong cluster of ethnic groups, speaking Eastern Nilotic languages, and the Acholi, Langi, and Alur, speaking Western Nilotic languages. Ugandans can be classified into several broad linguistic groups: the Bantu-speaking majority, who live in the central, southern and western parts of the country; and non-Bantu speakers who occupy the eastern, northern and northwestern portions of the country (who may in turn be sub-divided into Nilotic and Central Sudanic peoples). Their ethnic identities are various, but many spoke Western Nilotic languages similar to that spoken by the Acholi people, their closest relatives in Uganda. www.africa.upenn.edu /NEH/u-ethn.html   (1197 words)

Short Papers 2 Indeed, ideophone expression or ideophony is characteristic of languages around the world as was amply demonstrated at the International Symposium on Ideophones (University of Cologne) in January 1998. If ideophones are as prominent in the lexicons of most African languages as dictionaries and transcribed folktales indicate, they should feature equally prominently in translated text and yet, this is not the case. Ideophones are a well-recognized feature of African languages, comprising an important proportion of the lexicon of most languages. www.art.man.ac.uk /SML/ctis/events/Conference2000/shortpapers2.htm   (2996 words)

SILEWP 2000-001 For linguists, for language communities that are just beginning to develop literature in their language, or for agencies wanting to track languages that are not written or only in the initial stages of literacy, this may not be feasible. The old tagging information still gives them relatively precise indication of the language of the data, however, and they have some indication as to the extent to which the language category denoted by the tag that was used differs from the more current knowledge regarding the language categories. Because most languages are spoken by small populations living in remote locations, and because of the sheer number of languages involved, determining the complete inventory of languages spoken in the world is an incredibly difficult research task. www.sil.org /silewp/2000/001/SILEWP2000-001.html   (2996 words)

Africa Ministry Resources - CLA Two-thirds of these are Bantu languages, the largest of which is the Kikuyu, with Luyia and Kamba close behind. If you were to draw a diagonal line from the topmost part of Kenya on the Northwest corner down to the lower right side, ending at Malindi, the tribes living to the right (or east) of that line would be included in the unreached category [see map on right]. These are the tribes who have never had a church within their language group nor a witnessing believer in their village. www.gospelcom.net /oci/fieldSites/amr/magazine/kcgb06-1e.shtml   (34 words)

The Philosophical Text in the African Oral Tradition And Tempels' basic in­sight, that in Bantu thought not "being" is the most general category, but "force", seems to be valid, indeed, for most of Africa south of the Sahara. As it deals with implicit philosop­hies, which can be found in myths, legends, rituals, proverbs or quite generally in the structure of languages and which are not worked out as philo­sophy by members of the concerned ethnic group, the philoso­phical character of them is denied by many African and non-African authors. Paulin Hountondji argues in his "Critique of ethnophi­losophy" that Placide Tempels, the father of this kind of philosophy, chooses wrong starting points and comes to illicit consequences dealing only with one African language, [7] and that the philosophical claim of a thought which does not present itself as philosophical has to be rejected. home.concepts-ict.nl /~kimmerle/kimmerle3.htm   (34 words)
