Preface This reader is designed to provide an intermediate student of Tausug with a broad selection of authentic articles together with all necessary lexical and grammatical information to decipher them. The selections are rated between levels 2 to 3 plus according to the standards defined by the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) or American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). These selections can also be used productively to supplement or lead into Intensive Tausug: A Pedagogical Grammar of the Language Of Jolo, Philippines by Carl R. Galvez Rubino (published by Dunwoody Press in 2006; revised edition forthcoming). The selections are original creations by three authors. Every effort has been made to offer the widest range of genres for different settings: Culture and Society, Politics, Economics, Local History, Science and Technology, Defense, Geography, and the Environment. The selections have not been changed or abbreviated from their originals, and great care has been made to correspond them exactly to the recordings (available separately). The first part of this book contains the sixty-six selections with individual vocabularies. Words are entered in the order of their first appearance. Please note that the glosses are purposely literal, especially for verbs, since the three passive voices are idiosyncratic to Philippine languages. The standard idiomatic or free rendition of these verbs in English will be found in each respective translation. Once glossed, a word will not be re-glossed unless there is a substantial change in its meaning. Note also that words appearing in the Tausug-English Dictionary: Kabtangan Iban Maana (1994 edition) by Irene U. Hassan, Seymour A. Ashley, and Mary L. Ashley are generally not glossed herein. The second part of this book consists of the translations of each selection. For the most part, they are free and rendered in standard American English. The third and final part of this book is an overall glossary in alphabetical order, representing a compilation of all individual vocabularies.

v
Complex Sound Changes There are five important sound changes (i.e., morphophonemic changes by linguists) which may prove difficult for some students of this language. It is important to understand that some words change quite drastically from their root form, and the student will not readily find such words in a dictionary where words are listed under their root, rather than in alphabetical order. Before five consonants, the mangCV- prefix actually takes the shape of mangVng-, while with mang- and pang-, the first consonant of the root is lost. *B* hipamāk "meet" < bāk + hipangmamimī "buyer" < bī + mangCVmamomoto "voter" < boto + mangCVmamumunu’ "killer, murderer" < bunu’ + mangCV*K* mangangalang "singer" < kalang + mangCVmangingita’ "fortune-teller, seer" < kita’+ mangCVmangungugut "extortionist" < kugut "extort" + mangCVmangunguut "pickpocket" < kuut + mangCVnangungura' "riding a horse" < kura' + nangCV*P* mamula "blush, turn red: < pula + mangnamudji "praised, glorified" < pudji + nangpamalihala' "taking care" < palihala’ + pang*S* mananasal "smith" < sasal + mangCVmaniniyul "one who fishes with a fine net" < siyul + mangCV*T* mananahi’ "seamstress, tailor" < tahi’+ mangCVmananawal "medicine man" < tawal+ mangCVThe prefixes mang-, mangCV-, and pang- appear unchanged before all vowels and two consonants /h/ and /l/. See Rubino 2006:121 from which several of these examples are taken. *A* mangasubu "ask" < asubu + mangmangatubang "face each other" < atubang + mangpanganud "cloud" < anud + pangpangandul "trust, confidence" < andul + pang*I* mangihi’ "urinate" < ihi’ + mangvi
mangingista’ "fisherman" < ista’ + mangCVmangiklug "lay an egg" < iklug "egg" + mangmangiban "accompany" < iban + mang*U* mangungubat "shaman, medicine man" < ubat + mangCVmangungudju’ "mocker" < udju’ + mangCVmangungutang "debtor, borrower" < utang + mangCVpangukabi "opening" < ukab + pang- -i *D* mangdāg "climb" < dāg + mangmakapangdā’dā’ "offend, hurt s.o.'s feelings" < dā’dā’ + makapangnangda’gan "pressed down on s.t." < da’gan + nangpangdakup "elopement" < dakup + pang*G* panggaga "discipline, control" < gaga + pangmanggalit "shout" < galit + mangnanggubat "attacked" < gubat + nang*J* mangjawab "answer" < jawab + mangmangjahulaka' "maltreat s.o." < jahulaka' + mangmangjiyara "kiss the hand of one's elders on a feast day (as a sign of respect" < jiyara + mangEXCEPTION: manjari "can, able to" < jari + mang- [Var mangjari] *H* manghabun "ambush, overwhelm" < habun + mangmanghaplas "bathe, take a sponge bath" < haplas + mangmanghihindu’ "instructor, teacher" < hindu’ + mangCVmanghuhukum "judge" < hukum + mangCV*L* manglalanggal "violator" < langgal + mangCVmanglalappas "redeemer" < lappas + mangCVmanglulunggu’ "terrorists" < lunggu’ + mangCVpanglaggui "tribute" < laggu’ + pang- -i The Months of the Year Note that the names of the months of the year in Tausug are adopted Islamic terms, not Spanish (as is the case in the vast majority of Philippine languages). Throughout this Reader, when a Western date is referred to (as an American or Christian Filipino would recognize them), an English word is used: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
vii
The Islamic names have religious signficance: Muharram — first month (having thirty days) Sappal, Shafar, Syafar — second month Rabiyul — quasi-prefix or compound word used on the third ~ fourth months [Arabic "spring"] Rabiyul Awal, Rabi Al Awal — third month Rabiyul Ahil, Rabi Al Ahil — fourth month Ahil — (quasi-suffix or last compound word used on the fourth and sixth months) Jumadil Awal, Jumadir Awal — fifth month Jumadil — (quasi-prefix or first compound word on the fifth and sixth months) Jumadil Ahil, Jumadil Ahir — sixth month Rajab — seventh month Sa’ban — eighth month (having 29 days) Ramadan, Ramadhan — Ramadhan, the fasting month (ninth month, having 29 or 30 days) Sawwal, Shawwal — tenth month (having 29 days) Julkaidda, Julka’idda — eleventh month Julhadji’, Julhajji’ — twelfth month
A Note On Tausug Uniques While Tausug is a language within the Bisayan family (most closely related to Butuan), it has at least a dozen unique forms that distinguish it from Bisayan dialects and also from all other Philippine languages. Tausug amuin
atawa awn (aun) bayá’ + mahuun iban kagunahan kaingatan kawhaan [+Ceb dial] manjari sagwa’ (sagua’) sīn subay
English Bisayan (usual) which, who, that amu (ang) [Subordinates what follows to that which precedes] or Span u / o there is may / igwa like, want -ruyag yes huu and kag must; need kinahanglan know hibadu, sayud twenty (20) kaduhaan, Span baynte can, able mahímu' but apang, Span pero money pirak, Span kwarta should dapat
viii
A Note On Spanish Loanwords Tausug, unlike its Bisayan and other Philippine relatives, shows its greatest influence from the Samal language family, e.g., Samal, Yakan, and also from direct contact with Indonesian and/or Malay. There is no evidence for any direct influence from the Spanish, because the Tausugs staunchly resisted all invaders, both Spanish and American. However, the TausugEnglish Dictionary erroneously attributes what are essentially Spanish loans to Tagalog, whereas the provenance of such borrowings is most likely to be from trade and contact with the nearby Chavacano (a Spanish and Asturian creole language). Tausug āmu bayla bisita būla dipindi duru
English employer, boss dance visitor, guest ball depend (on ~ upon) strengthen, grow stronger
kampu kāru-kāru lamisahan mantakilya pamilya pasyal prublima pusti sini tambutsu
base, field carts table jam, jelly, margarine family stroll, walk; visit problem post movie muffler, exhaust pipe
tarabahu timpu usal
work era, period of time use
Spanish amo "master, boss" bailar visita bola depender duro "hard, tough, strong" campo "countryside" carro la mesa "the table" mantequilla "butter" familia pasear problema poste cine "cinema, theater" tambucho "escape hatch" trabajo tiempo usar
