Balinong – House Construction
Balinong – House Construction
2010-01-18
Two recordings in which Sesong Ronrang speaks about the process of constructing houses. These consist of the following sound files:
SDM25-20100118-201347_JS_E_Balinong_HouseConstruction.wav
SDM25-20100118-202747_JS_E_Balinong_HouseConstructionPrayer.wav
The details of these recordings are as follows:
SDM25-20100118-201347_JS_E_Balinong_HouseConstruction.wav; Duration 8’01”; Relating to the house construction
(Jürgen’s note: 10’15” about house opening; 16’10” a house opening song, sung by Sesong – these times probably relate to video).
The preparations for house opening were described by Sesong. Unmilled grains of rice, husked by hand, will be taken, as many grains as there are members of the household. These will be buried in the ground in a bamboo tube which is split and then very carefully tied back together and closed up at both ends. This will be buried overnight at the place where it is proposed the house be constructed. The burial of this will be accompanied by prayers. No other persons will be told about this, so that nobody would be able to disturb it. In the early morning it will be examined. If the rice grains have not moved, and have not been eaten by ants, or spoiled by moisture. then the location chosen for the house is a good one. If however there is some damage to them, then this is not a good location for a house and if a house were built there it would lead to misfortunes for the family.

This project contains linguistic, musicological, ethnographic and other cultural information about three communities in Upper Assam: Singpho, Tai and Tangsa. The recordings and analyses have been done by Stephen Morey, together with Palash Kumar Nath (Gauhati University), Juergen Schoepf (Phonogrammarchiv, Vienna), Meenaxi Barkataki Ruscheweyh (Goettingen Academy of Sciences), Chaichuen Khamdaengyodtai (Rajabhat University, Chiang Mai), Zeenat Tabassum (Gauhati University), Karabi Mazumder (Gauhati University), Krishna Boro (Gauhati University), Paul Hastie (LaTrobe University).
The key aims of the project were
• to provide a comprehensive documentation of the varieties of Tangsa language spoken in the Margherita Subdivision of Upper Assam, India,
• to provide a comprehensive documentation of the traditional songs, and poetry of three endangered language communities in the Margherita Subdivision: the Tangsa and Singpho (both Tibeto-Burman) and the Tai (Tai-Kadai), including a study of Tai traditional manuscripts, which are highly relevant for language and culture maintenance among the Tai.
Within each of these communities there is considerable linguistic and cultural diversity, so all the files have been divided up and named according to this system:

SDM02 Aiton
SDM03 Khamyang
SDM04 Ahom
SDM05 Khamti

SDM19 Mossang
SDM20 Khalak
SDM21 Lakkai
SDM22 Longri
SDM23 Hakhun
SDM24 Lungkhe
SDM25 Rera (Ronrang)
SDM26 Sangte
SDM27 Sangwal
SDM28 Halang
SDM29 Haseng
SDM30 Mungray (Morang)
SDM31 Moklum
SDM32 Nokja
SDM33 Hawoi (Havi)
SDM34 Joglei (Jogly)
SDM35 Namsang (Nocte)
SDM36 Longchang
Among the Tangsa, there is considerable diversity. Each group has its own name for itself and for each other group. In the list above, the name in parentheses is sometimes called the 'general name', whereas the first listed name is that used by the group for themselves. The naming of Tangsa groups needs considerable further research

Tangsa - Rera variety (general name Ronrang)
true
Unspecified
Unspecified
Rera (also pronounced Ruera) is a variety of Tangsa spoken in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and in Burma. Rera is one of the non-Pangwa Tangsa groups within India. Other Tangsa groups have different names for the Rera and the 'general name' is Ronrang.
Rera recordings in this archive have the code nst-ron as the first element of their names. This coding contains the ISO639-3 code for all Tangsa languages (nst), in combination with an informal code for the Tangsa variety. Prior to 16th February 2012, our Rera recordings were named with the code SDM25.
Tangsa is the name given in India to groups in both Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh and in Assam speaking languages of the Northern Naga also known as Konyak group within the Tibeto-Burman language family. There is very considerable linguistic variety within Tangsa., and some of the languages included within Tangsa are linguistically closer to Nocte than to other varieties within Tangsa.
The ethnologue code for Tangsa is NST. It is termed Naga-Tase in the Ethnologue. The word Tase is the Chamchang (General name Kimsing) pronunciation of the word Tangsa and was adopted by ISO639-3 because Chamchang was the first variety to have a Christian Bible translation and thus was listed in the Ethnologue.
Rera is spoken at Balinong, Jorong, and New Lisan in Kharsang, Manmau and Walaktoi in Southern Changlang district, and Phulbari in Jagun, Assam
