Findelrng bya'
We were very eager to see people's reactions after the first issue of FINDEL has
appeared. Now that it is out and people Start buying it, we wish to point out a few
ideas we have in our mind.
FINEL is not Mieant to promote only one variety of the Ron language.
For the editors of this Journal, there is only one Ron language, even if
there are differeat dinlects. FINDEL will try to reflect this variety by
ailowing everyone to express himself in his respective variety of Ron.
We won't adapt contributions to any standardised form of Ron. What
we will do. though, is to standardise the orthography used for printing
these contributions, following the guidelines we are laying out in our
ongoing series on "Reading and Writing the Ron language". But even
then, our readers should still be able to identify the area of Ron where
they came from.
We invite gifted writers, story-tellers, poets, etc. from all the different
dialect areas of the Ron country to contribute to FINDEL, with their tales,
proverbs, songs, stories, cultural or historical issues, and anything that is of
interest to the whole Ron Community. Let's be creative and keep the Ron
language and culture alive!
Here are some guidelines for our prospective authors:
Contributions should be written in any of the Ron varieties, not in English or
Hausa.
Contributions should be sent to any of the following addresses:
Dr. Uwe Seibert or
P.O. Box 953
Jos
Akila F. Mandue
Ron Language Project
Bokkos
or Mafulul Lek
c/o COCIN Daffo
Daffo
Contributions should be submitted either in typing or in a clear handwriting.
Good quality tape recordings of stories may also be accepted, but may need
to be edited. Drawings or photographs could be submitted, too.
Once submitted, contributions will not be sent back to the author.
Manuscripts are accepted only on a Joint decision of the editorial board.
Contributors receive free issues.
Letters to the editors will be published only if they are of general interest to
the readers. We reserve for ourselves the right to shorten these letters
without changing the general content.
All rights are reserved. Once published, contributions may be reproduced in
whole or part only with the written permission of the editors of FINDEL.
We hope that FINDEL will continue to be printed and the Ron language will
continue to be spoken for a long time to come.
READING AND WR I T I N G LIS MA RON (PART 2)
In the last edition (No. 1) of FINDEL, we started
giving sorae guidelines on reading and writing the
Ron language consistently and pointed out some
Special letters. In this issue we will start presenting
the different sounds found in Ron and how they
should be written.
Classes of sounds
In Ron, as in all the languages of the world, sounds are
forraed in different ways and can thereby be grouped in
different classes. The first major distinction is the one
between vowels and consonants. Among consonants,
one may then distinguish plosives, fricatives, nasals,
liquids, etc.
Plosives. These sounds are produced with a complete
closure of the vocal tract. Ron has the following
plosives:
p
b

t
d
<f
c
j
k
g
pas
sapa
gip
'arrow'
'clean'
'part'
bang
kabok
ak
With p, b and 6, the closure is formed with the lips.
They are called labial plosives. Here are some
examples:
'feather'
beg
'break'
kaa 'basket'
Note that b and can not occur at the end of a
word, only p, as shown in the word gip.
With t, d and d", the closure is formed with the tongue,
which touches the alveolar ridge, the Space directly
behind the teeth. They are called alveolar plosives. Here
are some examples:
tek 'beans' dash
motan 'disease' nadon
mat
receive
dam
podak
'beat'
'jealousy'
'thing
1
'toad'
Again, note that d and </can not occur at the end of
a word, only t, as shown in the word mat.
With c and j the closure is formed with the tongue,
which touches the palate, a place in the middle of the
roof of your mouth. They are called palatal plosives.
Here are some examples:
ca 'food' ja 'pound'
kocok 'eider' Ujiish 'group of stars'
Neither of the two ..sounds can occur at the end of
vvords. Note that in Ron words like ca 'food' and
cif'money' are written only with a c, like in Hausa
ci 'eat', not with c//, like in English chief.
With k and g the closure is formed with the tongue,
which touches the veltim, a place in the back of the roof
of your mouth. They are called velar plosives. Here are
some examples:
kat 'remain' gam 'look for'
bakam 'knife' ligit 'beer'
tok 'run'
Only k can occur at the end of words.
With kp and gb a closure is formed with the tongue, which
touches the velum, and the lips at the same time. They are
called labiovelarplosives. Here are some examples:
kpo
sakpak
gbaf
magbor
kp and gb are found in only a few words and neither
of the two sounds can occur at the end of words.
'small food Container'
'sandal'
'wrong deed '
'women's festival'
Finally, with ' , a closure is formed at the glottis, which is a
small opening between your vocal chords. It is called a
glottal stop. The glottal stop occurs mostly at the end of
words and needs to be written in order to distinguish words
like:
fo
ho
la
'mouth'
'cry'
'neck'
and
and
and
fo'
ho'
la'
'acca',
c
(ro i
'granary'.
It may also occur in the middle of words, whenever they
take plural orotherendings,like in:
ho'ash 'eggs',
yangg'an 'black'.
Look out for the hext issue of FINDEL for more guidelines
on reading and writing Lis ma Ron.
Letters to the editors are welcome and
ahould be addressed to:
