Shingyung - History

A recording in which Shingyung Ngaimong speaks about the history of migrations. This consists of the following sound file:
SDM16-20111108-07_SM_T_Shingyung_History.wav
The details of this recording are as follows:
SDM16-20111108-07_SM_T_Shingyung_History.wav; Duration 21’58”; History of migrations, starting in Mongolia, then moving through Tibet and China into Burma, then Mandalay, and climbed the Majoi Singrah mountain and from there to another hill that is Chanphu Pum (chan phu ‘dry firewood above the fire’), now in Kachin State, Burma. After that they reached the banks of the Tanai river, which was crossed at Tanai Wakrap (where the wild pigs cross the river). The people were unsure how to cross, but when seeing the wild pigs crossing, they decided to cross there. The meaning of Tanai comes from ten ai ‘let us stay here’. At the Tanai the groups were divided, and the Ngaimongs went up the Liknyau Hangnyau rivers which join the Tanai. From there they crossed the Patkai to Mon District of Nagaland to the Nyinyu village, and from there through Khonsa district to Tupi Wangcho, and from there to Ching Han Lajong (Lajo) and the back across the Patkai through Marang Ku (ku ‘mountain’), to the present Ngaimong Hajung (ha jung ‘big village’), which is the main Ngaimong village in Burma.
Along the way people split from the group in different places. Before they became the Ngaimong, the bigger group was called Kongkhu². There are still Kongkhu people among today’s Lajo..
It was also mentioned that at one time two brothers went hunting and they lost their way and crossed the Patksai range into India, and there they found a paddy field and saw two girls there – Moklum girls. And the two brothers tried to talk with the two girls and then married them, so they didn’t return to the Ngaimong village but stayed with the Moklums. So in the Moklum language Ngaimong is pronounced as Ngimu; they cannot so Ngaimong.

This project contains linguistic, musicalogical, 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:

Tangsa - Ngaimong variety
true
Unspecified
Unspecified
Ngaimong is a variety of Tangsa spoken in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and in Burma. Ngaimong is one of the Pangwa Tangsa groups within India. Other Tangsa groups have different names for the Ngaimong, of which Ngemu, the Muklom name for Ngaimong, is very common.
Ngaimong recordings in this archive have the code nst-ngm 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 Champang recordings were named with the code SDM16.
Some of our recordings use the code nst-nhs, where nhs refers to closely related varieties Ngaimong, Hahcheng and Shangwan. This was used at the request of the community members and in that case the name of the consultant in the file name will identify which of the sub-varieties is referred to.
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.
Ngaimong is spoken by 15 housebholds in Lakla village Assam, and by one household in Mullong No. 2 village. There are Ngaimong villages in Arunachal Pradesh.
The Ngaimong variety is very similar to Hahcheng, and both are related closely to Shangwan and Joglei.
A recording in which Shingyung Ngaimong speaks about the history of migrations. This consists of the following sound file:
