| Description: | Farewell song to the mice (Ju-phyu-lya-shya) [Ju meaning mouse, phyu means one that hides, one that cannot be seen, lya means to push out, farewell and shya is a song;] This song is song sung to the mice, when they want to get rid of the mice in the house – they ask the mice to go away and not trouble them any longer, they do not kill the mice, just ask them to go away. You are a thief and a robber, you stole the kasu (arum) that was meant for my child; you made a hole in the bamboo sunga (container) in which I had stored the paddy seeds for next year; when I want to hit you, you jump around; when you jump around, you wind your tail around my things and jump about to annoy me; you are a big robber and thief; you cannot stay here any longer, you have to go out of the house; go away, out of this house, out of this village, go under the stones under the ground make a house in the forest with leaves; take a stone to be your mother, and the shrubs and leaves for you race; even the sun goes away to the west, you should also follow him there. | |
| This project contains linguistic, musicalogical, ethnographic and other cultural information about three communities in Upper Assam: Singpho, Tai and Tangsa. The recordings and analyses have been done by Stephen Morey, together with Palash Kumar Nath (Gauhati University), Juergen Schoepf (Phonogram Archiv, Vienna), Meenaxi Bhattacharjee, Chaichuen Khamdaengyodtai (Rajabhat University, Chiang Mai), Zeenat Tabassum (Gauhati University), Karabi Mazumder (Gauhati University), Krishna Boro (Gauhati University). The key aims of the project were • to provide a comprehensive documentation of the varieties of Tangsa language spoken in the Margherita Subdivision of Upper Assam, India, • to provide a comprehensive documentation of the traditional songs, and poetry of three endangered language communities in the Margherita Subdivision: the Tangsa and Singpho (both Tibeto-Burman) and the Tai (Tai-Kadai), including a study of Tai traditional manuscripts, which are highly relevant for language and culture maintenance among the Tai. Within each of these communities there is considerable linguistic and cultural diversity, so all the files have been divided up and named according to this system: Tai SDM01 Phake SDM02 Aiton SDM03 Khamyang SDM04 Ahom SDM05 Khamti Singpho SDM07 Turung SDM08 Numhpuk Hkawng SDM09 Diyun Hkawng SDM10 Tieng Hkawng Tangsa SDM11 Youngkuk SDM12 Cholim SDM13 Kimsing SDM14 Tikhak SDM15 Lochhang SDM16 Ngaimong SDM17 Maitai SDM18 Shechhyv SDM19 Mossang SDM20 Khvlak SDM21 Lakkai SDM22 Lungri SDM23 Hakhun SDM24 Lungkhe SDM25 Ronrang SDM26 Sangte SDM27 Sangwal SDM28 Halang SDM29 Haseng SDM30 Morang SDM31 Moklum | ||
