摘要
Tima (ISO 639-3: tms)是一种尼日尔-刚果语,大约有7000人在非洲东北部苏丹的努巴山区使用,也在苏丹较大城镇的较小社区使用,如喀土穆和苏丹港。它是卡特拉语族的一部分,该语族包括卡特拉语、Julut语和Tima语,Tima语是三者中最独特的。这三种语言都被认为是濒临灭绝的,主要是由于近几十年来阿拉伯语的影响不断扩大,但也由于说话人的流动性更大。总的来说,说蒂玛语的老年人和年轻人的流利程度有所下降。提马人不仅接触到作为苏丹通用语和官方语言的阿拉伯语,还接触到英语和斯瓦希里语。后两种语言在第二次内战(1983-2005)的极端困难环境中被引入学校系统,当时来自肯尼亚的教师来到提马地区(此外,许多提马人去肯尼亚接受进一步教育)。1
Tima (ISO 639-3: tms) is a Niger-Congo language spoken by roughly 7,000 people in the Nuba mountains of Sudan, in north-eastern Africa, as well as in smaller communities in the bigger towns of Sudan such as Khartoum and Port Sudan. It is part of the Katla language group which includes the languages Katla and Julut as well as Tima, with Tima being the most distinct of the three. All three languages are regarded as endangered, mainly due to the spreading influence of Arabic in recent decades, but also due to greater speaker mobility. Broadly speaking, there is a decline in speaker fluency from older to younger speakers of Tima. The Tima people are not only exposed to Arabic as the lingua franca and official language of Sudan, but also to English and Kiswahili. These latter languages were introduced into the school system during the extremely difficult circumstances of the second civil war (1983–2005), when teachers from Kenya came to the Tima region (in addition, many Tima people went to Kenya for further education). 1
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the International Phonetic Association (JIPA) is a forum for work in the fields of phonetic theory and description. As well as including papers on laboratory phonetics/phonology and related topics, the journal encourages submissions on practical applications of phonetics to areas such as phonetics teaching and speech therapy, as well as the analysis of speech phenomena in relation to computer speech processing. It is especially concerned with the theory behind the International Phonetic Alphabet and discussions of the use of symbols for illustrating the phonetic structures of a wide variety of languages. JIPA now publishes online audio files to supplement written articles Published for the International Phonetic Association
