There was a note I saw on the bus, it grabbed my attention immediately. The guide-dog was specialized to serve those who are visually disabled, since they cannot see, it’s pointless to bring owls to Athens, the English translating was weird, too; I wondered if anyone understood what it is...Why the government is so careless about the little tiny detail?

【歌詞中譯】
日夜守護著鄒族之魂，代代傳頌著古老神話
善惡靈之爭仍未歇息，而巫師的雙眼卻已朽去 (確實如此)

我夢見身經百戰的勇士，怎麼也征服不了山的尊嚴
東西南北的領域，我現置身何方？ (確實如此)

山谷的迴響是否給于生命足夠的鼓舞？
藍天白雲是否給于航行足夠的力量？

世間所有終會劃下休止符，到那時，
我願像這座塔山，驕傲地挺起胸膛

[Translated lyrics]
Tsou guarded day and night of the soul, the ancient myth of generations lips
Battle between good and evil spirits to rest yet, and already rotten to the shaman's eyes (true)

I dream of battle-hardened warriors, how can conquer the mountain dignity
East and West areas, where exposure I now? (True)

Valley of the response is encouraging enough to in life?
Blue sky is enough to power on the sail?

All the world will eventually draw the rest, then,
I would like this Tashan, is proud to stand tall

Excerpts from blogger Dan's comments:

I am worried. I live in South Taiwan. ... But most of the daily speakers are people over the age of 40, and more like around age 50. Below this age, the popularity of speaking Taiwanese drops off precipitously.

The kids at elementary school, i sometimes visit the Taiwanese one hour a week classes with my friend Teacher Hung, the kids for the most part speak Chinese 24/7.......maybe just 10 percent of the kids age 5 - 15 can speak Taiwanese now although more can HEAR IT when their parents or grandparents speak it. However, from my viewpoint on the ground as a non-PHD, i see a dyying language, like Yiddish was for the Jews of Europe who immigrated to America in the 1920s....their grandkids cannot speak Yiddish anymore and almost nobody writes or reads Yiddish in the USA anymore or Europe. It is a dead language.

I worry this will happen to Taiwanese too..... only academics and PHDS will continue to write in hoklo and read it.....BUT Hoklo will live on as a popular langauge on TV shows and in daily life, but it will lost ALOT with each generation and by the year 2100, i worry that Taiwanese will also be a dead language. with just a few choice words used in daily like like BUSASA and AMAH and AKONG and ABEI and AUTOBAI and ASAN and JABA BUREAI and JABA and maybe just 100 words. I just worry. I hope i am wrong.

A New French Translation of the Value of Learning to Read and Write Taiwanese

2011-07-01T06:58:00.003+08:00

New French translation by Cyril:

La valeur de l’apprentissage de la lecture et de l’écriture du taïwanais

– Ìn Chú-lia̍t (Joel H. Linton) – le 22 Mai 2007

Ha̍k-si̍p Tâi-gí Tha̍k Siá ê Kè-ta̍t

Aujourd’hui je vais vous parler de l’importance d’apprendre à lire et à écrire le taïwanais.

Kin-á-ji̍t góa boeh kap lín hun-hióng ha̍k-si̍p Tâi-gí ê tha̍k siá ê kè-ta̍t.

Les gens disent, “Oh parle simplement taïwanais avec tes grand-parents. Il n’y a pas besoin de lire et écrire en taïwanais.

Ū-lâng kóng, » Ò͘, nā ē-hiaú iōng Tâi-gí kap A-kong, A-má, kóng-oē, án-ne tō-hó.

M̄-bián ē-hiáu tha̍k koh siá Tâi-oân-oē. »

Q: Combien d’entre vous sont Hoklo? Combien sont d’origine Hakka? Aborigènes ? Enfants ou petits enfants d’immigrants?

Chioh mn̄g chi̍t-ê: lín siáⁿ-lâng sī Hō-ló-lâng? Kheh-lâng? Goân-chū-bîn? Iah siáⁿ-lâng sī tē jī tāi lâi-ê Tâi-oân-lâng?

Góa sī tē it tāi lâi-ê.

Qu’importe la langue, Il est important de l’écrire.

Chit-má, choân sè-kài, múi-chi̍t-ê gí-giân lóng tio̍h-aì tòng iōng jī siá–chhut-lâi. Lâng nā bē-hiáu kā i ê gí-giân iōng jī siá–chhut-lâi, án-ni aū-lâi ē-hiáu kóng ê lâng ē lú-lâi-lú chió.

Q: Combien d’entre vous on vu le film , “Le seigneur des anneaux”?

Chia it-tēng ū lâng khòaⁿ-kòe chi̍t chhut tiān-iáⁿ kiò-chò 魔戒 The Lord of the Rings?

Ū khòaⁿ-kòe ê lâng, chhiaⁿ lín giâ chhiú.

Q: Combien ont lu le livre?

Kuí ê ū khòaⁿkòe hit pún chheh?

Ce livre a été écrit par un professeur de université d’Oxford. Son nom est J.R.R. Tolkien

Gû-tin-Tāi-ha̍k-ê kàu-siū — i ê miâ kiò-chò J.R.R. Tolkien — só͘-siá-ê hit pún 魔戒 The Lord of the Rings.

Il était professeur de littérature anglo-saxonne.

I sī Anglo-Saxon Bûn-ha̍k-hē ê kàu-siū.

La langue anglo-saxonne est le nom d’origine de la langue anglaise .

Anglo-saxon sī í-chêng goân-pún ê Eng-gí.

Si J.R.R. Tolkien était né en Taïwan, il serait devenu un professeur de littérature Taïwanaise.

Góa siūⁿ, nā J.R.R. Tolkien m̄-sī Eng-kok-lâng; i ê chó͘-kok nā-sī Tâi-oân, i it-tēng ē chò Tâi-oân-oē Bûn-ha̍k ê kàu-siū.

La langue anglaise et le taïwanais ont une histoire similaire.

Eng-gí ê le̍k-sú kap Tâi-gí-ê chin chhin-chhiūⁿ.

Le peuple commençait juste à écrire dans leur langue et à développer une culture et une littérature quand Guillaume le conquérant envahit l’Angleterre .

Tùi Kong-goân Lio̍k-Khòng-Khòng Nî kàu Kong-goân Chi̍t-chheng Nî, Eng-kok-lâng ū hoat-khí Eng-bûn ê bûn-ha̍k. Liáu-aū, It-Khòng-Lio̍k-Lio̍k Nî ê-sî, gōa-kok ê thóng-tī-chiá William the Conquerer lâi-kàu Eng-kok.

La nouvelle monarchie parlait le français .

Hit-ê thóng-tī-chiá, in kóng Hoat-kok-oē.

Petit à petit, la littérature anglaise disparut.

Í-aū lú-lâi-lú bô lâng siūⁿ boeh iōng Eng-bûn siá-jī.

Cela eut une influence négative sur la culture et transforma la langue. Quand l’anglais fut utilisé à nouveau , il avait changé.

Chit hāng tāi-chì hō͘ Eng-gí ū bô hó ê éng-hióng.

Il se passa la même chose en Taïwan.

Tâi-oân ê le̍k-sú mā ū hoat-seng–kòe kāng-khoán ê tāi-chì.

Les Japonais vinrent en 1895. Ils forcèrent les Taïwanais à apprendre et utiliser le japonais à l’école durant 50 ans.

It-Pat-Kiú-Ngó͘ Nî ê-sî, Ji̍t-Pún-lâng lâi. Thóng-tī Tâi-oân gō͘-cha̍p nî, in kiông-pek Tâi-oân ê ha̍k-hāu kan-na ē-tàng iōng Ji̍t-pún-oē .

Ensuite vint la Republique de Chine (Chung Hwa Min Guo ) et tout le monde fut forcé à utiliser le chinois mandarin à l’école pendant plus de 50 ans.

Aū-lâi, Tiong-Hôa-Bîn-Kok lâi, koh gō͘-cha̍p nî bián-kióng Tâi-oân-lâng tī ha̍k-hāu kan-na ē-tàng iōng Hôa-gí .

Toutes les langues locales : taïwanais, hakka, et langues aborigènes furent supprimées.

In kìm-chí lâng iōng pún-thó͘-oē.

Cela affaiblit totalement la langue et la littérature taïwanaises.

Chit hāng tāi-chì m̄-nā kìm-chí Hō-ló-oē, Kheh-oē, kap múi chi̍t-cho̍k-ê goân-chū-bîn oē, mā hō͘ Tâi-oân ê gí-giân bûn-ha̍k kap bûn-hòa lú-lâi-lú jio̍k, lú-lâi-lú siau-sit-khì.

Le Professeur Tolkien écrivit des histoires pour restaurer la culture et la littérature anglo-saxones.

In-uī goân-pún ê Eng-kok bûn-hòa í-keng bô-khì, Eng-kok-ê hit-ê kàu-siū boeh hôe-ho̍k í-chêng ê Eng-kok bûn-hòa.

Só͘-í i siá 魔戒 The Lord of the Rings hit pún chheh.

Même si Tolkien inventa des langues, la langue de la vidéo n’est pas son invention. c’est de l’anglo-saxon.

Sui-jiân Tolkien ka-tī chō sin-ê gí-giân, m̄-ku lán tú-tú thiaⁿ-ê m̄-sī i chō-ê. Hit-ê gí-giân sī Anglo-Saxon.

Tout l’enterrement illustre la culture anglo-saxonne. C’est merveilleux.

Lán khòaⁿ-tio̍h-ê sōng-lé, lâi-bin ū chin-chē Anglo-Saxon suí ê bûn-hòa.

Mais cette culture fut oubliée et l’on recommence a s’y intéresser seulement maintenant.

Chit-ê chiok suí ê bûn-hòa ū siau–sit-kòe. M̄-ku chòe-kīn koh khai-sí ū khòaⁿ-tio̍h.

Peut être pouvez vous avoir la même influence en Taïwan.

Lán chia khó-lêng ū chi̍t-koá ê lâng tùi Tâi-gí ē ū kāng-khoán ê éng-hióng.

Il est très important d’apprendre à lire et écrire le taïwanais.

Só͘-í nā ē-hiáu tha̍k koh siá Tâi-gí sī tùi lán aū-pái ū chin tōa-ê pang-chō͘, sī chin te̍k-pia̍t-ê.

Saviez vous que le taïwanais est une langue très littéraire?

Lín chai bô. Pún-lâi Tâi-gí sī chi̍t-ê ū bûn-ha̍k ê gí-giân.

Il est ironique que ce soit maintenant le langage parlé par les fermiers et les gens qui n’ont pas fait d’études.

Chim-á sóa piàn-chò sī bô tha̍k chheh, bô chuí-chún ê lâng, teh kóng-ê oē. Ū-iáⁿ thiⁿ chha tī tē. Chha chin-chē.

Savoir lire et écrire le taïwanais vous aidera à comprendre l’histoire de la langue et la culture.

Lán nā ū o̍h Tâi-gí àn-chóaⁿ siá, àn-chóaⁿ tha̍k, lán tō chai-iáⁿ hit jī sī àn-chóaⁿ lâi-ê, sī àn-chóaⁿ cho͘-sêng-ê.

L’histoire des langues Est-Asiatiques est très similaire à celle des langues Européenes.

Tang-A le̍k-sú kap Aū-chiu-ê chin chhin-chhiūⁿ.

Il y a plusieurs milliers d’années , l’empire Romain répandit le latin à travers l’Europe.

Nn̄g chheng nî-chêng, Lô-má tè-kok hō͘ La-teng-bûn tī Aū-chiu thôan-khoah (hoân-si̍t, seⁿ-thòaⁿ).

Ensuite, le latin se transforma en différentes langues telles l’italien,le français , l’espagnol ,etc.

Aū-lâi, La-teng-bûn hoat-tián piàn-chò chi̍t-kóa bô kāng-khoán ê gí-giân. Chhin-chhiūⁿ: Ì-tāi-lī-oē, Hoat-kok-oē, Se-pan-gâ-oē.

mais même avant 1700, les gens écrivaient toujours en latin meme s’ils parlaient une langue différente.

M̄-ku kàu It-Chhit-Khòng-Khòng Nî, lâng liân kóng pa̍t-ê gí-giân iā iáu iōng La-teng-bûn siá-jī.

Même d’autres langues (non-latines) comme l’anglais possèdent beaucoup de mots latins.

Sui-jiân Eng-gí m̄-sī tùi La-teng-bûn lâi-ê gí-giân, m̄-ku mā ū chin-chē jī sī tùi La-teng-bûn lâi-ê.

L’empire chinois s’étendit en Asie de l’Est.

Sio̍k Tang A-chiu Hàn-jîn-ê Tè-kok mā ū kāng-khóan ê éng-hióng.

En Asie de l’Est, le chinois classique se transforma en plusieurs langues distinctes telles le cantonais, le hakka et le min-nan.

Tī Tang A-chiu, bûn-giân-bûn hoat-tián piàn-chò chi̍t-kóa bô kāng-khoán ê gí-giân. Phì-jū-kóng: Kńg-tang-oē, Kheh-oē, kap Bân-lâm-oē.

Mais les gens écrivaient principalement en chinois classique.

M̄-ku, tōa-pō͘-hūn ē-tàng kā jī siá–chhut-lâi-ê lóng sī bûn-giân-jī.

Et aussi, beaucoup de mot du chinois classique furent empruntés par des langues non-chinoises comme le coréen.

Pa̍t-ê gí-giân, chhin-chhiūⁿ Hân-kok-oē, mā ū iōng chin-chē bûn-giân-jī.

Je suis né en Corée et je parle un peu le coréen.

Góa sī tī Hân-kok chhut-sì–ê. Góa ē-hiáu kóng chi̍t-sut-á Hân-kok-oē.

En arrivant en Taïwan , je fus très surpris d’entendre plusieurs mots qui ressemblaient à du coréen.

Chin chhú-pi, góa lâi Tâi-oân ê-sî, góa thiaⁿ-kòe chin-chē chin sêng Hân-kok-oē ê Tâi-oân-oē.

Le coréen et le taïwanais ont conservé les sons des consonnes et des voyelles du chinois classique. Ces sons n’existent plus en mandarin.

Hân-kok-oē kap Tâi-oân-oē iáu ū bûn-giân goân-pún ê chú-im kap bó-im ê hoat-im. M̄-ku hôa-gí í-keng bô hit ê siaⁿ. Chim-á ê Tiong-bûn kap bûn-giân-bûn í-keng bô kāng-khoán–a.

Les Coréens ont aussi concervé l’usage des caracteres du chinois classique. Les Taïwanais aussi. mais le mandarin lui, s’est transformé.

Hân-kok-oē kap Tâi-oân-oē iōng ê Hàn-jī sī guân-pún iōng ē Hàn-jī. Chim-á ê Tiong-bûn iōng-ê Hàn-jī chin-chē sī sin-chō-ê.

Lán só͘ kóng-ê chiah-ê gí-giân sī Tâi-bûn siōng-kīn kó͘-bûn.

Si vous lisez les poèmes de la dynastie Tang , vous vous rendrez compte que souvent les rymes sont meilleures en taïwanais que si vous lisez en mandarin. Les tons et les structures aussi y sont meilleures en taïwanais qu’en mandarin.

Lán nā iōng Tâi-gí tha̍k Tông-si, lán ē khah chheng-chhó thiaⁿ-tio̍h pêⁿ-im, tāng-im kap ūn ê kiàn-chō (kò͘-chō). Ū-sî-chun iōng Hôa-gí tha̍k, ūn ê kiàn͘-chō mā chheng-chhó, m̄-ku pêⁿ-im, tāng-im tō bô it-têng.

Le mandarin a 4 tons, le taïwanais en a 7. le mandarin en a perdu.

In-ūi Hôa-gí ê im-tiāu (koân-kē-im) chī ū sì-im. Tâi-gí ê im-tiāu ū chhit-im.

Le taïwanais a deux sortes de prononciation des caractères , littéraire ou normale.

Nā bòeh tha̍k Hàn-jī, Tâi-gí ū nn̄g khoán ê hoat-im tō-sī jī-im kap pe̍h-oē-im.

Et si vous savez écrire le taïwanais avec les caractères chinois vous découvrirez une belle et grande richesse culturelle.

Lán nā ē-hiáu iōng Hàn-jī siá Tâi-gí, lán ē-táng chai khah-chē bûn-hòa ê suí.

la romanisation (Lô-má-jī ) :

Q: Combien d’entre vous peuvent écrire en POJ?

Lán chia ū kúi-ê lâng ē-hiáu siá Tâi-gí iōng ê pe̍h-oē-jī?

C’est très bien si vous pouvez apprendre et utiliser la romanisation du taïwanais.

Nā lán o̍h àn-chóaⁿ iōng pe̍h-oē-jī siá Tâi-gí ū chi̍t-kóa chin hó ê chú-tê.

1. La romanisation montre les structures linguistiques propres à la langue taïwanaise qu’on ne peut voir avec les caractères.

1. Nā iōng Hàn-jī siá Tâi-gí, lán khòaⁿ–bē-chhut-lâi i ê gí-giân kiàn-chō (kò͘-chō). Nā iōng pe̍h-oē-jī lán ē-tàng chai-iáⁿ (chin chheng-chhó).

Je suis sur qu’il existe beaucoup d’autres relations structurelles en taïwanais et j’espère que votre classe va en decouvrir.

2. Même si le MOE (ministère de l’éducation) a crée un BoPoMoFo pour le taïwanais, cela aide seulement à prononcer les caractères mais n’est pas destine à l’écriture. Le système de romanisation est indépendant des caractères.

2. Lán ē-tàng bé Tâi-gí pe̍h-oē-jī ê chheh.

3. Comme en anglais, en taïwanais il y a de multiples contractions

3. Chhin-chhiūⁿ Eng-gí, chin-chē Tâi-gí jī ū nn̄g-ê-siaⁿ ha̍p-chò chi̍t-ê siaⁿ kóng.

les caractères chinois sont incapables de les exprimer.

Iōng Hàn-jī bô hoat-tō͘ siá hit hāng tāi-chì.

e.g. hō͘-lâng = hông niā-niā = niâ sì-cha̍p = sia̍p

Vous pouvez créer un projet en classe pour compiler toutes les contractions communes.

4. Utiliser les caracteres va souvent nous faire écrire le taïwanais de manière incorrecte parce nous sommes habitués aux mots en mandarin.

4. In-ūi ta̍k-ê í-keng si̍p-koàn iōng Hàn-jī siá Hôa-gí. Só͘-í lán khòaⁿ Hàn-jī kóng Tâi-gí ê-sî tiāⁿ-tiāⁿ kóng m̄-tio̍h.

5. La romanisation peut nous aider à comparer les accents régionaux. Les caracteres chinois ne peuvent pas nous aider à comparer les accents

Donc la Romanisation aide à la recherche et à la compréhension de la culture.

Mes beaux-parents sont d’ I-Lan, où les gens disent « chia̍h-puiⁿ » au lieu de » chia̍h-png. » et » mûiⁿ » au lieu de » mn̂g. »

6. Vous pouvez saisir la romanisation sur internet. J’ai un site qui montre comment saisir les tons.

Mais il y a une chose que vous ne devez pas oublier à propos de la romanisation.

Si vous savez prononcer la romanisation du taïwanais, vous savez que la prononciation de l’anglais est différente. L’anglais n’a pas un son consistant pour chaque lettre. Le système de romanisation taïwanais a son consistant pour chaque lettre.

Siá Tâi-gí iōng pe̍h-oē-jī ū chi̍t-ê ài kì-tit: Pe̍h-oē-jī ê hoat-im kap Eng-gí ê Lô-má-jī ê hoat-im bô kāng-khóan.

Alors j’ai développé une écriture phonétique basée sur celle de J.R.R. Tolkien qui exprime plus correctement la relation entre les différents sons.

Só͘-í, goá ū iōng ê sin-jī sī tùi J.R.R. Tolkien chō-ê sin-jī lâi-ê.

Chaque son correspond parfaitement.

Só͘-ū tùi Tolkien lâi-ê jī kan-na ū chi̍t-ê hoat-im niā-niā.

Et vous, qu’allez vous faire?

Chim-á, lín ū siūⁿ boeh chhòng-siàⁿ?

– Vous pouvez restaurer la culture et les langues de la Taïwan.

– Commencer à écrire en taïwanais.

– soumettre des articles à la version taïwanaise de wikipedia.

– Écrire des histoires concernant la culture taïwanaise comme Tolkien le fit pour la culture anglaise

William Shakespeare - Sonnet #18

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd:
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Kám thang kā Lí pi-chòe Joa̍h-thiⁿ 1 ji̍t?

Translation:

1. Let's take a walk! I'm so glad you suggested that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the East, where the moon can shine on us. We came up with the same idea!

2. Let's go let the cows out to graze! I'm glad you said that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the West, toward the cool shade of the trees. We came up with the same idea!

3. Let's go for a stroll! I'm glad you suggested that. Where shall we go? Let's go to the North, where we can take a boat ride. We came up with the same idea!

It's moon festival day today. I went back to my parents' place to visit them. I brought them 2 packs of coffee beans, but when I left, they gave me plenty of things. Well, that is what "daughter thief" exactly means. :)

The name for God is: "Meirang Alid"

English: "In the beginning God made heaven and earth. He filled it with life that jump, walk, hop and fly; green, red, short, long, circle and all kinds of colors and shape. They all dwelt and grew in the land where blew fresh cool breezes and flowed clean ocean water. Blossom and fragrance of grasses filled the air. There were sweet as well as sour fruits, also all kinds of vegetables grew in different seasons. All things were good and beautiful."

熊口餘生

時間倒回民國六十三年六月左右。在部落的早晨一如往常是雲高風清,吵雜的鳥叫聲伴著我和sa zemzem一同往獵場前進,這天心情似乎非常輕鬆,也異常興奮。從老七佳部落一路走來雖然艱辛,但是隨著心情的放鬆與天氣的配合讓
沿途的疲憊都如煙消雲散。

進入獵場隨即展開巡視捕獸夾的步驟,從最近的一個捕獸夾已經不翼而飛, 且環顧四週的環境盡是折斷的樹幹、殘破不堪的枝葉與利爪深鑿的痕跡猶如颱風浩劫一般,直覺上就已經看出已經夾獲到非常巨大的野獸,從現場掙扎的跡象不
難想見牠被獸夾所傷時的痛苦與求生的本能。

我以經驗判斷,巨獸應該是昨天觸到陷阱的,就在我們到處搜索獸夾與巨獸逃離的方向時,遠方傳來陣陣野獸的嘶吼聲,距離約有三百公尺左右,於是我和 sa zemzem 就立刻將隨身的配刀插在手杖上,準備與已經聞到我們氣味的巨獸做一番搏鬥。隨著巨獸吼聲愈來愈大聲,我們也步步為營地往巨獸方向小心翼翼的前進。就在我們即將正面衝突的時候,我遠遠發現,被我們的獸夾所獵獲的巨獸
竟然是一隻cumai(台灣黑熊)。當時,衝到腦門的第一個反應是既興奮卻又害怕。經過片刻的整理思緒後,害怕的感覺漸漸地鎮定下來,且緊張的情緒也稍有穩定。定神一瞧,我們的捕獸夾還殘留在黑熊的左腳上,但是也因為黑熊的力量實在太大,況且我們的捕獸夾原本是為捕獵山猪而設計的,因此在黑熊的摧折破壞之下儼然已經變成一堆廢鐵,附掛在黑熊腳上的獸夾好像為黑熊裝扮用的飾品一樣,已經沒有束縛能力。就連固定獸夾之用的大鐵鍊(為了防止獸夾被拖行失蹤,通常會綑紮於粗壯的樹頭),也被拆解成好幾節,散落於黑熊奔逃的路徑上。
由於黑熊本身在觸到獸夾之後已經受傷,然後又從空氣中嗅到我們的氣味, 我們聽到它的吼聲之後,就知道它已經有警戒,早已準備做反抗與攻擊。因此, 我們靠近它時正以直立的姿勢迎接我們,且不時回以震耳欲聾的咆哮吼聲,駭人的氣氛凝聚在當時,著實讓人回想起來真不知何處來的勇氣。我努力地將緊張的情緒鎮定下來,因為黑熊站立時的高度與我的身高大約相同,再衡量它的重量可能超過兩百公斤,腦海中回憶起放陷阱的地方甚為粗壯的樹幹被撕裂的場景,在我心理早已經對它有了盤算,但是我還是沒有忽視這頭黑熊的力量。

黑熊的吼聲距離我們越來越近,情勢也越來越緊張。於是我就叫 sazemzem 到上風處,繞到牠的後面;而我已有應戰的準備。當我們看到牠的時候,牠就衝向我攻擊,原本我在行進,被這突來的狀況也被嚇得不知該如何才好,而我的同伴拔腿就跑,跑到距離我較遠的上方處。定神之後憑著一枝長手杖及一把刀,緊握的長手杖瞄準黑熊的心臟,但是黑熊也不是等閒之輩,他用雙掌將我的手杖拋到十幾公尺遠的地方,此刻手無寸鐵的我,硬是被黑熊從腰部抱起來,重重的摔在地面。而就在起身的時候,我迅速的將我另一把刀子取出來,當牠又再次撲向
我時,原本我所掩蔽的樹幹,硬生生的被黑熊折斷,就像折筷子一般的輕鬆。一瞬間,牠已將我的左腿咬住,而我拼命的用小刀往牠的臉上砍,但只傷到他的嘴部而已。此時,黑熊獸性大發,一隻手握住我的腋下,另一隻手從我的胯下將我舉起拋向遠處,我的身體就像球一樣彈在地上。黑熊的攻勢一刻也沒有停止,他又向我撲來,張牙舞爪的好像要把我的眼睛挖掉,我機警的將熊臂甩掉,同時順勢用刀往他的頭部猛刺一刀,剎時血濺滿身,同時我的眼睛也因此睜不開,我閉著眼睛想將刀子再刺深一點再轉一轉,希望讓刀子能刺到黑熊的動脈,但是他很快的咬住了我的右手掌虎口的部位,我很清楚的聽到、感覺到手掌在黑熊的咬齧下,肉綻骨碎,血流如注,疼痛不已。因此,我的右手便喪失戰鬥功能。

由於我已經身負重傷,而熊也負傷之下,我預估自己的戰鬥力,實在是不可能和牠單獨博鬥,於是我大聲的呼喊sazamzam,跟他說:「我快被熊殺死了,趕快來救我!」遠遠的從山坡上聽到他的回應聲,同時黑熊也聽到 sazamzam 叫聲就將我釋放下來,黑熊轉頭便朝向聲音的來源奔去;不一會兒,就聽到sazamzam的悽慘哀號聲,他痛苦的呼叫著:「快來救我呀!我的腳趾不見了!」此時,我檢視傷口,先將刀子從腰際解下來,然後用刀子將衣服切割成布條包裹傷口,想辦法將布條由脖子纏繞受傷的手,再垂掛於胸前固定之。完成後立刻用左手把刀子放進背包裡,然後趕到他那邊去。只見他用雙手將左腳趾緊緊握住,傷口的血從指縫間滲流出來,早已經浸染了整個雙手。「黑熊將我的左腳大拇趾咬掉了!」他痛苦的跟我說。而我又問他:「熊往哪裡逃?」他說:「往山坡上走了,牠一邊走,一邊狂叫。」然後他用緊張且痛苦的聲音說:「我們不要再追了,我們回去吧!」我回他說:「這頭熊已經快差不多了,他已經活不久了,因為我已經砍牠的嘴,刺了牠的頭部兩刀,血流很多快不行了。」他回應說:「他還是很厲害,
很有力。」我安慰他說:「忍耐一下!我們把他殺掉帶回去煮。」就在這時候天空突然下起大雨。

我隱約聽到黑熊在山坡上狂叫,我鼓勵著 sazemzem 且忍住疼痛往山坡上追。越過山坡後我們看見一棵巨大的樹頭,約需十人環抱的大樹頭,盤根錯節範圍很大,而中間是空的,當中有一缺口就像家門一般。可能是黑熊出入頻繁,入口處被身體摩擦得很光鮮油亮;樹根周圍雜草很少,四周動物奔跑、追逐的痕跡讓周圍地面看起來非常的清亮,我們直覺判斷這就是黑熊的巢穴。

我叫 Sazemzem 去看洞裡的情形,如果黑熊出來,就往他的心臟刺。他往洞口望去,輕輕的跟我說:「熊的頭在洞口」。然後,他試著用佩刀套上手杖而成的長茅刺探,雖然刺到黑熊的頭但並沒有刺中要害。此時,我心理暗想:「我這個同伴不行!」。於是我爬上樹頭,找尋可以下手的地方。一不小心腳踏的石頭卻滑了下去,驚動了洞裡負傷休息的黑熊,但也因此讓我看到了黑熊的正確位置。於是,我將佩刀牢牢的套上手杖,然後趁機對準了黑熊的心臟位置,屏氣凝神用我身體右腋下頂著長矛,孤注一擲用盡全力刺向黑熊。幸好這次並沒有失手,黑熊因為這致命的一擊,終於不支倒地,氣絕身亡。黑熊斷氣前還曾經哀吼三聲。

我知道黑熊已經死掉之後,便迅速跳到洞口,這時候sazemzem卻跟我說: 「黑熊可能假裝死掉,我們先不要進去!」我興奮的告訴他:「黑熊已經癱倒在地,血流不止,而且已經沒有氣息了。」sazemzem才一步一趨的跟在我的後頭探望這頑強的對手。因為黑熊死時是腳朝洞口,於是我試著用沒有受傷的左手抓黑熊的腿,但是經過雨淋和血染之後,熊腿奇滑無比。又加上這隻黑熊重量太重,
所以我和 sazemzem 費了九牛二虎之力,才把他拖到洞穴外面來。

稍事休息之後,sazemzem說:「我們該怎麼處理這隻熊呢?」,「至少切一些肉放在背袋裡帶回去」我說。「可是我的腳很痛呢!」sazemzem說完,我就開始用左手將熊腿肢解,準備切一些熊肉帶回去。因為我們負傷,所以能攜帶的東西有限,黑熊的軀幹和一隻腿是我們僅能負擔的。

一路上我們輪流背著熊腿,離開黑熊巢穴時大約下午三、四點,走到 tjugadu 的山坡時,天色已經暗下來了,當時大雨還不停的下著。回到部落時已經是佈滿星空的晚上了。我們又累又餓,且身上的傷口在雨水的沖洗下,更是疼痛。親友得知我們獵到黑熊的事,全都跑過來一探究竟,當時部落只有一些常住在山上耕作的村人。

回到部落族人便燒水煮飯,替我們更衣包紮傷口,一些人則趁夜回新部落報訊,並召集部落青年準備上山援救,當時的心情非常興奮與慶幸自己大難不死, 而我的同伴 sazemzem 也有相同的感受。飢寒疲累獲得紓解之後,與族人談論與黑熊打鬥的過程,族人莫不瞠口結舌直呼不可思議,因為受到重傷還能奮力一博,這需要多少的毅力與勇氣才可以做到。看著族人充滿敬佩的眼神與崇拜的表情,這一天緊張刺激、長途跋涉的疲累與生命交關的心情,霎時全都隨柴火昇煙飛散。當晚在族人圍爐歡飲同享勝利的滋味下酣甜入夢。

隔天清晨,我和sazemzem及山下來的親友們先回新部落接受治療,而一些青年朋友則又回獵場將黑熊的殘骸取回,包括黑熊腿、殘肢及內臟等。由於當時能獵到如此龐然巨大的獵物,算是非常少見,所以全村的親戚朋友都不約而同的向我道賀與表示敬佩之意,就連遠方親戚朋友也聞訊趕來,帶了小米酒和豐盛的賀禮來慶祝戰勝黑熊。回想起當年的盛況,猶如英雄衣錦還鄉的感覺。這一則故事是近代部落傳奇勇士salonglong親口敘述的真實事件,雖然現代野生保育觀念提升,狩獵行為受到限制,然而依山運行的狩獵文化,在排灣族社群中依然是部落傳統文化價值的核心。

==============================
Here is a modified google translation from the Mandarin into English. It could probably be edited into a more coherent English text.

Kumakuchi Rest of My Life

It was back in June of 1974. In the tribe is as usual the morning high cloud conditions and customs, noisy complex of birds singing accompanied me and Sazemzem forward to the hunting field. This day seemed very relaxed, but also abnormal and always exciting. Seven from the old tribe a good future despite difficult road to go, but with the mood of relaxation and with the weather so that along the way, such as fatigue evaporated.

We started immediately into the hunting field visits to the trap of steps, from the most recent trapping has no wings to fly, And look around the environment is full of broken tree trunks, broken branches are not worthy of the leaf and the interest of a deep claw marks like a typhoon catastrophe general, intuition has been seen on the folder has been to a very large beast, no signs of struggling from the field It is difficult to see when injured by hunters pain and survival instincts.

I experienced judge, monster traps should be touched yesterday, found everywhere in our claim and monster hunters Escaping direction, the distant roar of the beast bursts of mass future sound distance of about 300 meters or more, so I sa zemzem immediately to carry on the distribution knife inserted in the stick, ready to have smelled the odor of the beast we do Some struggle.

With more and more loud roar monster, we step by step directions to the camp to the monster cautiously Forward. We are about the conflict in a positive, I much found by our hunters have been hunting the monster Turned out to be a cumai (Taiwan black bear). At that time, rushed to his forehead and his first response was a thrilling but harm Afraid. After a while the whole management thoughts, the fear of feeling gradually coming under calm, and the tension is also slightly Stable.

God will look, our trapping also remain in the black bear's left foot on, but also because of The power of black bear Is too great, and we are in the trap for the arrest was originally designed for hunting mountain swine, so twisted by the rack in the black bear's broken Bad if there is already a heap of scrap iron, under, feet hanging in the black bear black bear hunters like to dress with accessories Like, have no binding ability. Fixed hunters to use together a large steering wheel (In order to prevent loss of hunters dragged the Bank Track, usually bundled in thick of a tree), has also been broken down into several sections, scattered located on the path on black bear run away.

As the bear itself has been injured after touching the hunters, and then from the air smell we smell After we heard the roar, I know it has a warning, and attack against the already prepared to do. Therefore, When we close it is to meet our upright posture, and do not want to explode when the Deaf back to the roaring roar, terrifying Atmosphere of cohesion at the time, indeed, reminiscent of the future really does not know where the courage of the future. My effort to be tight Under the future emotional calm, because when the bears stand up to my height and about the same height, then measure its weight can 100 kg to more than two, recalled to mind the place up traps to be very thick trunk tear scene, in I already it has psychological order calculations, but I did not ignore The power of this first black bear. Black bear's roar distance more and more close to us, the situation has become more and more tense. So I called sazemzem To upwind, around to the back of it; and I have to prepare for battle.

When we saw it, it washed Attack to me, had I conducted into the, by this sudden coming De status was scared not know how to go about, and I the same With ran away I went far away from the top of the departure. With a God given after the long walking stick and a knife, tight Black bear holding a long stick aimed at the heart, but black bears are not a Dengxianzhibei he stick with the palms of my cast To ten meters away, at the moment I am defenseless, he just picked up by black bears coming from the waist, pounding on the ground. And on up, I quickly took out my knife to another future, when it again fell into I, the original trunk I cover religious ties broken by the bear, like chopsticks off easy in general. A Moment, it has bite my left leg, but I try my hardest to its face with a knife cut, but only his mouth hurt Department only.

At this point, a large black bear animal hair, one hand holding my arm, the other hand from my crotch to my Raised thrown away, my body, like shells on the floor like a ball. Black bear attack never stopped, he Also told me flutter future, claws like to take my eyes out, I will bear arms dump alert, while Shun Potential with a knife to his head Meng puncture knife, lost all blood spattered covered, while my eyes are not so Pool open, I closed With eyes like the knife and then puncture a deep point onward transfer, to let the knife to puncture the arteries to the black bear, but he Order quick bite my right palm thumb and the site, I clearly heard, felt palm in black bear gnawing , The meat spindles Gu Sui, blood flow, such as injection pain does not have. Therefore, the loss of my right hand combat convenience features.

Since I had been maimed and injured bears are under, I estimate their fighting ability, it is not allowed And its sustained efforts to separate, so I cried aloud to Sazamzam saying: "I'm going to be bear to kill the order, catch Are coming to save me! "Far from the hillside to hear his response to sound, while black bears have also heard sounds sazamzam I will release the next future, the bear turned to convenience and ran towards the sound source; not for a while, I heard sazamzam Miserable wail sound, he calls the pain: "are coming to save me! My toes do not see order!"

At this point, I View the wound, coming off his first knife from the waist, and then clothes and cut with a knife wrapped strips of cloth wound, like Approach to cloth from the neck wound injured hand, and then hanging in front constant. Immediately after the completion of the knife with his left hand Child into the backpack, then rushed him over there. Only see his hands firmly hold the left toe, the blood of the wound Seepage from between the fingers out of the future, order the hands already disseminated. "Black bear will bite off my left big toe order!" I am speaking with his pain. I asked him: "Bear Where escape?" Saying: "In order to take the hill, its side Walk, while barking.

"Then he strained and painful voice speaking:" We do not have to catching late, we go back It! "I'm back to saying:" the bear is almost more or less the order, he had not long live order, because I have cut it Mouth, sensation order its head two knives, the blood flow not been conducting a lot faster. "He responded Notes:" He is very powerful, Great force. "I am comforted saying:" bear with me! We took him out with a back cooked suicide. "Days at this time Air suddenly began to rain. I vaguely heard the barking black bear on the hillside, and I encourage the Sazemzem and hold back the pain to the slopes Chase.

We see across the slope and a huge tree and surrounded by trees in about ten head, deep-rooted Fan Wai great, but the middle is empty, which have a gap like a normal house. May bear out frequently, into the The mouth is very bright body friction oil lit; the roots of weeds around the little animals running around, chasing the traces The ground around them to see the future is very clear from the brightness, we intuitively judge that is the bear's den. I see a hole called sazemzem monsoon, airplane case, if the black bear out of the future, go out into his heart puncture. Him to the hole I looked, gently speaking to me: "Bear's head openings."

Then he tried to wear a walking stick made of knives Spears puncture probe, although the puncture to the black bear's head but did not puncture the vital. At this point, I psychological thought: "I just Companion is not behavior! . " So I climbed up a tree, looking for a place to start with. A careless foot of rock In order to continue to slip, alerted order hole裡rest wounded black bear, but because I see the order bears the correct location. So, I will wear a saber牢牢the cane, and then took the opportunity to align the heart of the bear position order, with God breath condensate Braving the spear right axillary my body, desperate to bear the exhaustion of all ability puncture. Fortunately, this has not missed, black Bear because of this deadly blow, and finally fell to the ground without support, Qijueshenwang. Sad bear breathe ago had shouted three times. I know the bear is dead, the convenience quickly jump to openings, but to me this time Sazemzem noted: "Black bear may pretend to die, let's not get in!"

I'm excited to tell him: "black bear has collapsed , The blood flow is not only and has no breath order. "Sazemzem only one step with a trend of my behind Visit this tenacious opponent. Because black bears towards death is the foot openings, so I try not injured left hand grasping Black bear's legs, but after the rain shower and bloody, the bears legs extremely odd slip. Added the only bear the weight too heavy So I sazemzem fee order nine cattle tigers of force, only then dragged him out of future cavities. After a short break, sazemzem Notes: "how should we handle the bear it?", "At least some of Bring back the meat on the backpack

"I'm speaking. "But it hurts my feet!" Sazemzem finished speaking, I started Bear with their left leg will be dismembered, a number of bear meat prepared切back. Because we are wounded, they are able to carry things Limited black bear's body and a leg is the only burden. A road, we take turns carrying a bear leg, leaving the nest when the black bear at about three or four points, went tjugadu Hillside, the sky has been dark the future under the order, when heavy rain has not stop to sleep. Back to the tribe was already covered Star of the evening order. We also accrue hungry, and the body in the rain washing the wound, the more is the pain. Friends We are hunting the black bear that matter, find out all ran the future, when the tribe only a few permanent cultivation in the mountains For the villagers.

Back to the ethnic tribe burned boiled convenience, we have more clothes for dressing wounds, some people are Chenye report back to the new tribe Information, and prepare to convene the mountain tribes of Youth rescue, the mood was very excited and grateful that the disaster is not dead, My companion Sazemzem have the same feelings. Cumulative be alleviated hungry tired after the talks with the ethnic theory and The process bears fighting, Serbs are not left behind by mouth men can answer directly call Mo is not marvelous, but also excited because the ability of a seriously injured Bo, which requires stamina and courage how much we can do. Look at the eyes of God clan is full of admiration and worship of the table Situation, this day of intense stimulation, the long journey cumulative fatigue life of diplomatic relations with the feeling of instant full都with wood smoke rise Flying.

Night in the furnace Huan Yin Wai tribe shared the taste of Victory sweet dreams under the nap. Next morning, Sazemzem and I and foot before coming back to relatives and friends of the new tribe for medical treatment, while some Young friends in turn back to black bear hunting field will retrieve the wreckage, including the black bear legs, severed limbs and visceral organs. At that time, To hunting to such a mammoth and great hunting property, which is a less common, so the whole village of friends and relatives about the same by FEM To congratulate and express my admiration of him, on hearing the news together friends and relatives far away in time coming, with In order to millet wine and rich He defeated black bear gift to celebrate the future. Recall when the year's spectacular event, feeling like a hero returned home gloriously.

Assessing the strength of a language

2010-04-19T21:00:00.006+08:00

A language has depth and breadth if it has sufficient words to translate the following.

"
Glint, glisten, glitter, gleam ...

Tiffany though a lot about words, in the long hours of churning butter. "Onomatopoeic," she'd discovered in the dictionary, meant words that sounded like the noise of the thing they were describing, like cuckoo. But she thought there should be a word meaning a word that sounds like the noise a thing would make if that thing made a noise even though, actually, it doesn't, but would if it did.

Glint, for example. If light made a noise as it reflected off a distant window, it'd go glint! And the light of tinsel, all those little glints chiming together, would make a noise like glitterglitter. Gleam was a clean, smooth noise from a surface that intended to shine all day. And glisten was the soft, almost greasy sound of something rich and oily.
"

English:

As we come to sweep the grave, we meet God with thanks and praise.
He who does all things renew, did make our ancestors, too.

As we come to sweep the tomb, cut the grass and turn the earth,
thankfully here we recall, our ancestors in God's hall.

Meeting here before the tomb, this is not a time of gloom.
Parents taught us of the Lord, steeped us in God's holy word.

In the grave-yard where we stand, as a fam'ly hand in hand,
glory give to God above, who receives us all in love.

A perfect match to English would create a profusion of letters. It is better that, like Korean, Taiwanese has closer to one sound corresponding to one letter unit.

繁體字、簡體字攏毋是台灣字

蔣為文/台灣羅馬字協會榮譽理事長

最近馬英九發表「識正書簡」的言論引發各界的撻伐。藍營人士認為繁體字（或所謂的正體字）才是中國文字的正統，綠營人士則認為使用繁體字才能與簡體字區隔以維持台灣的獨特性。

事實上，不論繁體字或簡體字，它都是中國文字，不是台灣文字。台灣人最早使用的是羅馬字（俗稱新港文及白話字）而不是漢字！藍營人士擁抱繁體字不過是欺騙自己，不敢面對中國共產黨統治中國的事實，只為滿足阿Q心中虛幻的中國文化正統！綠營人士「看人食米粉teh喊燒」誤以為只要使用繁體字就可以建立台灣文化的主體性。這些用詞咄咄逼人的政客卻沒注意，不論繁體字或簡體字，它們書寫的都是兩邊互通的華語。相形之下，具台灣主體性與文化代表性的本土語言諸如台語、客語及原住民族語，在外來種華語的侵襲下，都已面臨將比北極熊及貓熊提早消失的困境。請問綠營人士，台灣文化的主體性是要靠繁體字嗎？漢字文化圈的周遭國家韓國與越南，為凸顯本土文化的代表性，紛紛選擇廢漢字。台灣呢？

Behind You

One day, when we get old,
when we can't find people to take care of us,
I'll sit next to you on the bench,
listen to your endeavors from your younger days.
It doesn't matter whether we have fancy meals,
neither do we know to blame luck or people.
Your hand, I'll hold it tight,
because I am always behind you.

I spent the best time of my life, married to you in a family.
I followed you from young to old.
Life's stories, I have seem them all,
who else is more important than you?
I dedicated my life to a family,
only to find out that happiness comes with its ups and downs.
When the time of departure comes,
I'd let you go first...
because I cannot hold the thought that...
I'd leave you in tears for me.

One day, when we get old,
and our children are there for us,
if you get bored, let us go over our picture albums,
and check out how handsome you were at our wedding.
It doesn't matter whether we have fancy clothes,
neither do we know to blame anything.
Your heart, I'll always keep it on my mind,
because I am always behind you.

I spent the best time of my life, married to you in a family.
I followed you from young to old.
Life's stories, I have seen them all,
who else is more important than you?
I dedicated my life to a family,
only to find out that happiness comes with its ups and downs.
When the time of departure comes,

Verdant Taiwan
English Translation and Versification - by Joel H. Linton, A.D. 2010

Verdant gem, amidst the azure sea
Our Taiwan, most beautiful and free
Dark ages past, outlanders ruled
Now we'll build a nation great and free
A constitutional republic found
Out of many, united, we are bound
As one poeple, marshaling our worth,
Onward in strength, forging peace throughout the earth

(As with Francis Scott Key's anthem that became the national anthem of the United States, the second verse of Verdant Taiwan is less commonly sung, and expresses the song-writer's faith in God.)

Verse 2
In the beginning, God created her,
Formosa, Taiwan our treasure
God granted our ancestors there to dwell
And build a nation by His sovereign will
To Jesus Christ o'er all the nations, King
We long to make a righteous offering
Of this great land that we've been given
By showing forth love and justice
As it is in heaven

The Value of Learning to Read and Write in Taiwanese

Today I am going to talk about the importance of learning to read and write Taiwanese. People say, “Oh just speak Taiwanese with your Grandparents. There is no need to read and write Taiwanese.

Q: How many of you are Hoklo Taiwanese? How many from Hakka backgrounds? Aboriginal? 2nd Generation immigrants? I am a first generation arrival in Taiwan. These days, all over the world, no matter what background you are from or what language you speak, it is important to write it. If people cannot write their language, then afterwards, there will be fewer and fewer able to speak it.

Q: How many of you have seen the movie, “The Lord of the Rings”? How many of you have read the book?

The book was written by an Oxford University Professor. His name is J.R.R. Tolkien He was a professor of Anglo-Saxon Literature. Anglo-saxon is the original English language. I think that if J.R.R. Tolkien had been born in Taiwan, he would have become a professor of Taiwanese literature.

The English language has a similar history to Taiwanese. When people began to write down the language and develop a culture and literature, Foreigners came and conquered England. The new rulers spoke the French language. All English literature slowly stopped being written. It had a negative influence on the culture and changed the language. When English was used again by the rulers, it had changed.

The same kind of thing happened in Taiwan. Japanese came in 1895. They forced the Taiwanese to learn and use Japanese in schools for 50 years. Then the ChungHwaMinGuo (ROC) came and forced everyone to use Mandarin in schools for another 50 years. All the local languages: Taiwanese, Hakka, and Aboriginal languages were suppressed and forbidden in schools or in media. It took away the strength of Taiwanese language and literature.

Professor Tolkien was sad for the loss of Old English and wrote a story to restore Anglo Saxon culture and literature.
If you watch the movie, The Two Towers, you can see a funeral scene of Theodred where Eowyn sings a funeral durge. Although Tolkien invented languages, the one in the video is not His language. It is Anglo-saxon. That whole funeral illustrates Anglo-Saxon culture. It's beautiful. But that culture was lost and is only now being looked at again. Maybe some of you can have the same influence in Taiwan.

It is very important to learn to read and write Taiwanese. Did you know that Taiwanese is a very literary language? It is ironic that it is now the language spoken by farmers and people who did not study advanced degrees.

Knowing how to read and write Taiwanese will help you understand the history of language and culture.

East Asia's language history is very similar to Europe. Thousands of years ago, the Roman Empire spread the Latin Language across Europe. After that, Latin developed into different languages like Italian, French and Spanish. But even until 1700, people still wrote in Latin even if they spoke in a different language. Even other kinds languages like English got many words from Latin.

Like the Roman Empire in Europe, the Chinese Empire spread across East Asia. In East Asia, Classical Chinese developed into many distinct languages like Cantonese, Hakka, and Min-nan. But people still wrote mainly in classical Chinese. And also, many Classical Chinese words came into non-Chinese languages such as Korean.

I was born in Korea so I can speak a little Korean. When I came to Taiwan, I was very surprised to hear many words that sounded like Taiwanese. Korean and Taiwanese preserve consonant and vowel sounds from Classical Chinese. These sounds no longer are in Mandarin. Also, Korean's preserved Chinese Character Usage of the original classical Chinese. Taiwanese also did. Mandarin has changed.

If you read the Tang Dynasty Poems, you might sometimes the rhyming works better in Taiwanese than if you read in Mandarin. Also the tone sequence and structure matches Taiwanese better than Mandarin. Mandarin only has four tones. Taiwanese has seven. So Mandarin lost some. Taiwanese has two kinds of pronunciation of Chinese Characters- Literary and Regular. Also, if you know how to Write Taiwanese Chinese characters, you will find much cultural richness and beauty.

Romanization:

How many of you can write POJ? It is good if you can learn and use Taiwanese romanization.

1. Romanization shows inherent language structure in Taiwanese that cannot be seen reading characters. I am sure that there are many other structure relationships in the Taiwanese language and I hope your class will discover some.

2. Although the MOE has designed BoPoMoFo to use for Taiwanese, it is only to help pronounce characters and is not meant to be written by itself. Romanized Taiwanese is respected as independent of Characters.

3. Like English, the Taiwanese language has many contractions. Chinese Characters are not able to express this. Here are some examples: e.g. hō͘-lâng = hông niā-niā = niâ sì-cha̍p = sia̍p.
You could do a class project to compile all of the common contractions.

4. Using characters will often lead us to write Taiwanese incorrectly because we are used to Mandarin words. For example: tāi-ke vs. ta̍k-ê .

5. Romanization can help us compare regional accents. Chinese characters cannot help us compare accents. So Romanization helps cultural understanding and research. My mother and father-in-law are from I-Lan where people say " chia̍h-puiⁿ "... instead of " chia̍h-png." And " mûiⁿ " instead of " mn̂g."

6. You can type using romanization on the internet, etc. I have a website that shows how to make tone marks.

But there is one thing to remember with Romanization. It is like International Phonetic Alphabet instead of English usage.

If you know how to pronounce Taiwanese romanization, pronouncing English words is different. English does not have a consistent sound for each letter. Taiwanese romanization has a consistant sound for each letter. So I have developed a phonetic script based on J.R.R. Tolkien's script that expresses even more closely the relation between different sounds. Every sound matches exactly.

What about you?

-- you can restore the culture and languages of Taiwan

-- Begin to write in Taiwanese

-- class project --- submit articles to the Taiwanese wikipedia.

-- writing stories for Taiwan's cultures like Tolkien did for England.

lyrics in Anglo-Saxon (Old English)

The full song lyrics

Nú on théostrum licgeth Théodred se léofa, hæ´letha holdost.
ne sceal hearpan sweg wigend weccean;
ne winfæ´t gylden guma sceal healdan,
ne god hafoc geond sæ´l swingan,
ne se swifta mearh burhstede beatan.

Bealocwealm hafað fréone frecan forth onsended,
giedd sculon singan gléomenn sorgiende
on Meduselde thæt he ma no wære,
his dryhtne dyrest and maga deorost.

Now dear Théodred lies in darkness, most loyal of fighters.
The sound of the harp shall not wake the warrior;
nor shall the man hold a golden wine-cup,
nor good hawk swing through the hall,
nor the swift horse stamp in the courtyard.

An evil death has sent forth the noble warrior
A song shall sing sorrowing minstrels
in Meduseld that he is no more,
to his lord dearest and kinsmen most beloved.

La valeur de l’apprentissage de la lecture et de l’écriture du taïwanais

– Ìn Chú-lia̍t (Joel H. Linton) – le 22 Mai 2007

Ha̍k-si̍p Tâi-gí Tha̍k Siá ê Kè-ta̍t

Aujourd’hui je vais vous parler de l’importance d’apprendre à lire et à écrire le taïwanais.

Kin-á-ji̍t góa boeh kap lín hun-hióng ha̍k-si̍p Tâi-gí ê tha̍k siá ê kè-ta̍t.

Les gens disent, “Oh parle simplement taïwanais avec tes grand-parents. Il n’y a pas besoin de lire et écrire en taïwanais.

Ū-lâng kóng, » Ò͘, nā ē-hiaú iōng Tâi-gí kap A-kong, A-má, kóng-oē, án-ne tō-hó.

M̄-bián ē-hiáu tha̍k koh siá Tâi-oân-oē. »

Q: Combien d’entre vous sont Hoklo? Combien sont d’origine Hakka? Aborigènes ? Enfants ou petits enfants d’immigrants?

Chioh mn̄g chi̍t-ê: lín siáⁿ-lâng sī Hō-ló-lâng? Kheh-lâng? Goân-chū-bîn? Iah siáⁿ-lâng sī tē jī tāi lâi-ê Tâi-oân-lâng?

Góa sī tē it tāi lâi-ê.

Qu’importe la langue, Il est important de l’écrire.

Chit-má, choân sè-kài, múi-chi̍t-ê gí-giân lóng tio̍h-aì tòng iōng jī siá–chhut-lâi. Lâng nā bē-hiáu kā i ê gí-giân iōng jī siá–chhut-lâi, án-ni aū-lâi ē-hiáu kóng ê lâng ē lú-lâi-lú chió.

Q: Combien d’entre vous on vu le film , “Le seigneur des anneaux”?

Chia it-tēng ū lâng khòaⁿ-kòe chi̍t chhut tiān-iáⁿ kiò-chò 魔戒 The Lord of the Rings?

Ū khòaⁿ-kòe ê lâng, chhiaⁿ lín giâ chhiú.

Q: Combien ont lu le livre?

Kuí ê ū khòaⁿkòe hit pún chheh?

Ce livre a été écrit par un professeur de université d’Oxford. Son nom est J.R.R. Tolkien

Gû-tin-Tāi-ha̍k-ê kàu-siū — i ê miâ kiò-chò J.R.R. Tolkien — só͘-siá-ê hit pún 魔戒 The Lord of the Rings.

Il était professeur de littérature anglo-saxonne.

I sī Anglo-Saxon Bûn-ha̍k-hē ê kàu-siū.

La langue anglo-saxonne est le nom d’origine de la langue anglaise .

Anglo-saxon sī í-chêng goân-pún ê Eng-gí.

Si J.R.R. Tolkien était né en Taïwan, il serait devenu un professeur de littérature Taïwanaise.

Góa siūⁿ, nā J.R.R. Tolkien m̄-sī Eng-kok-lâng; i ê chó͘-kok nā-sī Tâi-oân, i it-tēng ē chò Tâi-oân-oē Bûn-ha̍k ê kàu-siū.

La langue anglaise et le taïwanais ont une histoire similaire.

Eng-gí ê le̍k-sú kap Tâi-gí-ê chin chhin-chhiūⁿ.

Le peuple commençait juste à écrire dans leur langue et à développer une culture et une littérature quand Guillaume le conquérant envahit l’Angleterre .

Tùi Kong-goân Lio̍k-Khòng-Khòng Nî kàu Kong-goân Chi̍t-chheng Nî, Eng-kok-lâng ū hoat-khí Eng-bûn ê bûn-ha̍k. Liáu-aū, It-Khòng-Lio̍k-Lio̍k Nî ê-sî, gōa-kok ê thóng-tī-chiá William the Conquerer lâi-kàu Eng-kok.

La nouvelle monarchie parlait le français .

Hit-ê thóng-tī-chiá, in kóng Hoat-kok-oē.

Petit à petit, la littérature anglaise disparut.

Í-aū lú-lâi-lú bô lâng siūⁿ boeh iōng Eng-bûn siá-jī.

Cela eut une influence négative sur la culture et transforma la langue. Quand l’anglais fut utilisé à nouveau , il avait changé.

Chit hāng tāi-chì hō͘ Eng-gí ū bô hó ê éng-hióng.

Il se passa la même chose en Taïwan.

Tâi-oân ê le̍k-sú mā ū hoat-seng–kòe kāng-khoán ê tāi-chì.

Les Japonais vinrent en 1895. Ils forcèrent les Taïwanais à apprendre et utiliser le japonais à l’école durant 50 ans.

It-Pat-Kiú-Ngó͘ Nî ê-sî, Ji̍t-Pún-lâng lâi. Thóng-tī Tâi-oân gō͘-cha̍p nî, in kiông-pek Tâi-oân ê ha̍k-hāu kan-na ē-tàng iōng Ji̍t-pún-oē .

Ensuite vint la Republique de Chine (Chung Hwa Min Guo ) et tout le monde fut forcé à utiliser le chinois mandarin à l’école pendant plus de 50 ans.

Aū-lâi, Tiong-Hôa-Bîn-Kok lâi, koh gō͘-cha̍p nî bián-kióng Tâi-oân-lâng tī ha̍k-hāu kan-na ē-tàng iōng Hôa-gí .

Toutes les langues locales : taïwanais, hakka, et langues aborigènes furent supprimées.

In kìm-chí lâng iōng pún-thó͘-oē.

Cela affaiblit totalement la langue et la littérature taïwanaises.

Chit hāng tāi-chì m̄-nā kìm-chí Hō-ló-oē, Kheh-oē, kap múi chi̍t-cho̍k-ê goân-chū-bîn oē, mā hō͘ Tâi-oân ê gí-giân bûn-ha̍k kap bûn-hòa lú-lâi-lú jio̍k, lú-lâi-lú siau-sit-khì.

Le Professeur Tolkien écrivit des histoires pour restaurer la culture et la littérature anglo-saxones.

In-uī goân-pún ê Eng-kok bûn-hòa í-keng bô-khì, Eng-kok-ê hit-ê kàu-siū boeh hôe-ho̍k í-chêng ê Eng-kok bûn-hòa.

Só͘-í i siá 魔戒 The Lord of the Rings hit pún chheh.

Même si Tolkien inventa des langues, la langue de la vidéo n’est pas son invention. c’est de l’anglo-saxon.

Sui-jiân Tolkien ka-tī chō sin-ê gí-giân, m̄-ku lán tú-tú thiaⁿ-ê m̄-sī i chō-ê. Hit-ê gí-giân sī Anglo-Saxon.

Tout l’enterrement illustre la culture anglo-saxonne. C’est merveilleux.

Lán khòaⁿ-tio̍h-ê sōng-lé, lâi-bin ū chin-chē Anglo-Saxon suí ê bûn-hòa.

Mais cette culture fut oubliée et l’on recommence a s’y intéresser seulement maintenant.

Chit-ê chiok suí ê bûn-hòa ū siau–sit-kòe. M̄-ku chòe-kīn koh khai-sí ū khòaⁿ-tio̍h.

Peut être pouvez vous avoir la même influence en Taïwan.

Lán chia khó-lêng ū chi̍t-koá ê lâng tùi Tâi-gí ē ū kāng-khoán ê éng-hióng.

Il est très important d’apprendre à lire et écrire le taïwanais.

Só͘-í nā ē-hiáu tha̍k koh siá Tâi-gí sī tùi lán aū-pái ū chin tōa-ê pang-chō͘, sī chin te̍k-pia̍t-ê.

Saviez vous que le taïwanais est une langue très littéraire?

Lín chai bô. Pún-lâi Tâi-gí sī chi̍t-ê ū bûn-ha̍k ê gí-giân.

Il est ironique que ce soit maintenant le langage parlé par les fermiers et les gens qui n’ont pas fait d’études.

Chim-á sóa piàn-chò sī bô tha̍k chheh, bô chuí-chún ê lâng, teh kóng-ê oē. Ū-iáⁿ thiⁿ chha tī tē. Chha chin-chē.

Savoir lire et écrire le taïwanais vous aidera à comprendre l’histoire de la langue et la culture.

Lán nā ū o̍h Tâi-gí àn-chóaⁿ siá, àn-chóaⁿ tha̍k, lán tō chai-iáⁿ hit jī sī àn-chóaⁿ lâi-ê, sī àn-chóaⁿ cho͘-sêng-ê.

L’histoire des langues Est-Asiatiques est très similaire à celle des langues Européenes.

Tang-A le̍k-sú kap Aū-chiu-ê chin chhin-chhiūⁿ.

Il y a plusieurs milliers d’années , l’empire Romain répandit le latin à travers l’Europe.

Nn̄g chheng nî-chêng, Lô-má tè-kok hō͘ La-teng-bûn tī Aū-chiu thôan-khoah (hoân-si̍t, seⁿ-thòaⁿ).

Ensuite, le latin se transforma en différentes langues telles l’italien,le français , l’espagnol ,etc.

Aū-lâi, La-teng-bûn hoat-tián piàn-chò chi̍t-kóa bô kāng-khoán ê gí-giân. Chhin-chhiūⁿ: Ì-tāi-lī-oē, Hoat-kok-oē, Se-pan-gâ-oē.

mais même avant 1700, les gens écrivaient toujours en latin meme s’ils parlaient une langue différente.

M̄-ku kàu It-Chhit-Khòng-Khòng Nî, lâng liân kóng pa̍t-ê gí-giân iā iáu iōng La-teng-bûn siá-jī.

Même d’autres langues (non-latines) comme l’anglais possèdent beaucoup de mots latins.

Sui-jiân Eng-gí m̄-sī tùi La-teng-bûn lâi-ê gí-giân, m̄-ku mā ū chin-chē jī sī tùi La-teng-bûn lâi-ê.

L’empire chinois s’étendit en Asie de l’Est.

Sio̍k Tang A-chiu Hàn-jîn-ê Tè-kok mā ū kāng-khóan ê éng-hióng.

En Asie de l’Est, le chinois classique se transforma en plusieurs langues distinctes telles le cantonais, le hakka et le min-nan.

Tī Tang A-chiu, bûn-giân-bûn hoat-tián piàn-chò chi̍t-kóa bô kāng-khoán ê gí-giân. Phì-jū-kóng: Kńg-tang-oē, Kheh-oē, kap Bân-lâm-oē.

Mais les gens écrivaient principalement en chinois classique.

M̄-ku, tōa-pō͘-hūn ē-tàng kā jī siá–chhut-lâi-ê lóng sī bûn-giân-jī.

Et aussi, beaucoup de mot du chinois classique furent empruntés par des langues non-chinoises comme le coréen.

Pa̍t-ê gí-giân, chhin-chhiūⁿ Hân-kok-oē, mā ū iōng chin-chē bûn-giân-jī.

Je suis né en Corée et je parle un peu le coréen.

Góa sī tī Hân-kok chhut-sì–ê. Góa ē-hiáu kóng chi̍t-sut-á Hân-kok-oē.

En arrivant en Taïwan , je fus très surpris d’entendre plusieurs mots qui ressemblaient à du coréen.

Chin chhú-pi, góa lâi Tâi-oân ê-sî, góa thiaⁿ-kòe chin-chē chin sêng Hân-kok-oē ê Tâi-oân-oē.

Le coréen et le taïwanais ont conservé les sons des consonnes et des voyelles du chinois classique. Ces sons n’existent plus en mandarin.

Hân-kok-oē kap Tâi-oân-oē iáu ū bûn-giân goân-pún ê chú-im kap bó-im ê hoat-im. M̄-ku hôa-gí í-keng bô hit ê siaⁿ. Chim-á ê Tiong-bûn kap bûn-giân-bûn í-keng bô kāng-khoán–a.

Les Coréens ont aussi concervé l’usage des caracteres du chinois classique. Les Taïwanais aussi. mais le mandarin lui, s’est transformé.

Hân-kok-oē kap Tâi-oân-oē iōng ê Hàn-jī sī guân-pún iōng ē Hàn-jī. Chim-á ê Tiong-bûn iōng-ê Hàn-jī chin-chē sī sin-chō-ê.

Lán só͘ kóng-ê chiah-ê gí-giân sī Tâi-bûn siōng-kīn kó͘-bûn.

Si vous lisez les poèmes de la dynastie Tang , vous vous rendrez compte que souvent les rymes sont meilleures en taïwanais que si vous lisez en mandarin. Les tons et les structures aussi y sont meilleures en taïwanais qu’en mandarin.

Lán nā iōng Tâi-gí tha̍k Tông-si, lán ē khah chheng-chhó thiaⁿ-tio̍h pêⁿ-im, tāng-im kap ūn ê kiàn-chō (kò͘-chō). Ū-sî-chun iōng Hôa-gí tha̍k, ūn ê kiàn͘-chō mā chheng-chhó, m̄-ku pêⁿ-im, tāng-im tō bô it-têng.

Le mandarin a 4 tons, le taïwanais en a 7. le mandarin en a perdu.

In-ūi Hôa-gí ê im-tiāu (koân-kē-im) chī ū sì-im. Tâi-gí ê im-tiāu ū chhit-im.

Le taïwanais a deux sortes de prononciation des caractères , littéraire ou normale.

Nā bòeh tha̍k Hàn-jī, Tâi-gí ū nn̄g khoán ê hoat-im tō-sī jī-im kap pe̍h-oē-im.

Et si vous savez écrire le taïwanais avec les caractères chinois vous découvrirez une belle et grande richesse culturelle.

Lán nā ē-hiáu iōng Hàn-jī siá Tâi-gí, lán ē-táng chai khah-chē bûn-hòa ê suí.

la romanisation (Lô-má-jī ) :

Q: Combien d’entre vous peuvent écrire en POJ?

Lán chia ū kúi-ê lâng ē-hiáu siá Tâi-gí iōng ê pe̍h-oē-jī?

C’est très bien si vous pouvez apprendre et utiliser la romanisation du taïwanais.

Nā lán o̍h àn-chóaⁿ iōng pe̍h-oē-jī siá Tâi-gí ū chi̍t-kóa chin hó ê chú-tê.

1. La romanisation montre les structures linguistiques propres à la langue taïwanaise qu’on ne peut voir avec les caractères.

1. Nā iōng Hàn-jī siá Tâi-gí, lán khòaⁿ–bē-chhut-lâi i ê gí-giân kiàn-chō (kò͘-chō). Nā iōng pe̍h-oē-jī lán ē-tàng chai-iáⁿ (chin chheng-chhó).

Je suis sur qu’il existe beaucoup d’autres relations structurelles en taïwanais et j’espère que votre classe va en decouvrir.

2. Même si le MOE (ministère de l’éducation) a crée un BoPoMoFo pour le taïwanais, cela aide seulement à prononcer les caractères mais n’est pas destine à l’écriture. Le système de romanisation est indépendant des caractères.

2. Lán ē-tàng bé Tâi-gí pe̍h-oē-jī ê chheh.

3. Comme en anglais, en taïwanais il y a de multiples contractions

3. Chhin-chhiūⁿ Eng-gí, chin-chē Tâi-gí jī ū nn̄g-ê-siaⁿ ha̍p-chò chi̍t-ê siaⁿ kóng.

les caractères chinois sont incapables de les exprimer.

Iōng Hàn-jī bô hoat-tō͘ siá hit hāng tāi-chì.

e.g. hō͘-lâng = hông niā-niā = niâ sì-cha̍p = sia̍p

Vous pouvez créer un projet en classe pour compiler toutes les contractions communes.

4. Utiliser les caracteres va souvent nous faire écrire le taïwanais de manière incorrecte parce nous sommes habitués aux mots en mandarin.

4. In-ūi ta̍k-ê í-keng si̍p-koàn iōng Hàn-jī siá Hôa-gí. Só͘-í lán khòaⁿ Hàn-jī kóng Tâi-gí ê-sî tiāⁿ-tiāⁿ kóng m̄-tio̍h.

5. La romanisation peut nous aider à comparer les accents régionaux. Les caracteres chinois ne peuvent pas nous aider à comparer les accents

Donc la Romanisation aide à la recherche et à la compréhension de la culture.

Mes beaux-parents sont d’ I-Lan, où les gens disent « chia̍h-puiⁿ » au lieu de » chia̍h-png. » et » mûiⁿ » au lieu de » mn̂g. »

6. Vous pouvez saisir la romanisation sur internet. J’ai un site qui montre comment saisir les tons.

Mais il y a une chose que vous ne devez pas oublier à propos de la romanisation.

Si vous savez prononcer la romanisation du taïwanais, vous savez que la prononciation de l’anglais est différente. L’anglais n’a pas un son consistant pour chaque lettre. Le système de romanisation taïwanais a son consistant pour chaque lettre.

Siá Tâi-gí iōng pe̍h-oē-jī ū chi̍t-ê ài kì-tit: Pe̍h-oē-jī ê hoat-im kap Eng-gí ê Lô-má-jī ê hoat-im bô kāng-khóan.

Alors j’ai développé une écriture phonétique basée sur celle de J.R.R. Tolkien qui exprime plus correctement la relation entre les différents sons.

Só͘-í, goá ū iōng ê sin-jī sī tùi J.R.R. Tolkien chō-ê sin-jī lâi-ê.

Chaque son correspond parfaitement.

Só͘-ū tùi Tolkien lâi-ê jī kan-na ū chi̍t-ê hoat-im niā-niā.

Et vous, qu’allez vous faire?

Chim-á, lín ū siūⁿ boeh chhòng-siàⁿ?

– Vous pouvez restaurer la culture et les langues de la Taïwan.

– Commencer à écrire en taïwanais.

– soumettre des articles à la version taïwanaise de wikipedia.

– Écrire des histoires concernant la culture taïwanaise comme Tolkien le fit pour la culture anglaise.
