欧洲殖民前的 X̲aat 语分布

aat (ANLC系统:X̲aat Kíl, X̲aadas Kíl, X̲aayda Kil)是 X̲aat 的语言。该语言有8个元音和超过30个辅音。语言学家Edward Sapir曾在1915年把 X̲aat 语归为纳-德内语系,该提议随即受到诸多语言学家(如Pinnow, Greenberg, Enrico, Ruhlen, Manaster Ramer, and Bengtson,详见参考文献列表)的支持;然而,今天大多数语言学家将 X̲aat 语看作是一个孤立语言[1]08年语言学界提议美洲的纳-德内语系北亚(中西伯利亚)的叶尼塞语系同源并构成德内-叶尼塞语门[2]却没有任何迹象表明 X̲aat 语属于该语门。

大约100年前,全体 X̲aat 人都使用 X̲aat 语,[3]但今天 X̲aat 语却是extremely endangered, with only about 40 native speakers,[4] nearly all of whom are older adults.[5][6] Although the number of native speakers has diminished along the years, according to a 2001 Canadian Census there are now about 275 speakers in British Columbia alone,[3] and with revived interest in the language, this figure is expected to grow.

Currently Haida citizens and friends in all three dialect communities are working to revitalizing the language. In Skidegate, fluent speakers gather on a daily basis to work on the southern or Skidegate dialect and have produced a large series of recordings. In Masset, a group of younger learners is working with their fluent elders to reintegrate the northern or Masset dialect into their daily lives. In Alaska, the community conducts regular language classes for teens and adults, and has built a website complete with online recordings of the Kaigani dialect.

History

[编辑]

The Rev. John Henry Keen, a missionary, translated the Book of Common Prayer into Haida. Keen returned to England on leave in 1898 and his translated prayer book was published in 1899 in London by the Missionary Society.[7] Sadly the book went out of print as the people it was intended to be read by, were dying out. It is estimated that before the Europeans arrived there were 10,000 people who spoke Haida. By 1900 there were about 700.[8] Keen was to go on to translate the gospels of Luke and John and the Acts from the New Testament into Haida.[9]

  • ^1 Inside words, the plain stops can be voiced.
  • ^2 For some speakers, [t͡ʃ] occurs only at the beginning of syllables, while [t͡s] does not occur there. They are the same phoneme. A similar situation applies with [t͡sʼ] and [t͡ʃʼ].[来源请求]
  • ^3 Instead of an epiglottal fricative, the Masset dialect uses an epiglottal trill.

Tone

[编辑]

Haida features phonemic tone, the nature of which differs by dialect. In Kaigani the system is one of pitch accent, with at most one syllable per word featuring high tone; in Masset and Skidegate tone is contrastive in heavy syllables. All the above systems feature two tones: high and low.

书写系统

[编辑]

X̲aat 语有两套基于拉丁字母的书写系统:在加拿大常用的,约翰·恩里科(John Enrico)提出的恩里科系统,用来书写南 X̲aat 语;在美国常用的,阿拉斯加土著语言中心(Alaska Native Language Center)提出的ANLC系统,用来书写北 X̲aat 语。

  • ANLC系统区分两个同位异音[t͡ʃ](英语的ch)和[t͡s](汉语拼音的c)。
  • 恩里科系统是一种跨方言文字(尽管只跨了两个加拿大方言),它在不同方言中给了不同的语音影射,使得在两种方言中发音相同的词有着不同的写法,而写法相同的词有着不同的发音。[10]

X̲aat 语的两套书写系统部分与汉语拼音类似:字母B、D、G表示不吐气的清音,而非浊音。

此外还有一个不常用的系统,由John R. Swanton给出。[10]它更像是基于语音的,而不像是基于音位的。
