Majang Language
The Majang language is spoken by the Majangir people of Ethiopia. Although it is a member of the Surmic language cluster, it is the most isolated one in the group (Fleming 1983). A language survey has shown that dialect variation from north to south is minor and does not seriously impede communication. The 2007 Ethiopian Census lists 6,433 speakers for Majang (Messengo), but also reports that the ethnic group consists of 32,822 individuals (Messengo and Mejengir). According to the census, almost no speakers can be found in Mezhenger Zone of Gambela Region; a total of eleven speakers are listed for the zone, but almost 10,000 ethnic Mejenger or Messengo people. Phonology The vowel inventory below is taken from Joswig (2012) and Getachew (2014, p. 65). Vowel length is distinctive in Majang, so meanings change depending on whether a vowel is long or short, such as ''goopan'' 'punishment' and ''gopan'' 'road'. Unseth (2007) posed a 9-vowel system with a row of -ATR clos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
