| Description: | This is a dialogue concerning the Tung tree. Tung is a type of oil that is widely used in the region and therefore an important crop. It is usually used to paint the surface of wooden houses, boats, basins and buckets to make them waterproof and is also an antiseptic agent. The Tujia use Tung seeds to make Tung oil. This section introduces the procedure for planting Tung trees from Tung seed and for selecting, planting, and cultivating Tung sprouts. Tung trees grow well in the flat dry land; in mountainous areas they are mainly planted on mountain slopes. They are usually planted together with wheat, millet, sorghum, rapeseed and sesame. Planting Tung trees is easy, requiring only yearly weeding and a small area of land. | |
| Summary of deposit Southern Tujia (土家. ISO-639: tjs) is a tonal Tibeto-Burman language spoken in a small number of villages in the mountainous Wuling Range of the western Hunan and Hubei provinces of central south China.There are around 6 million Tujia people, however only a small number of these speak the Southern Tujia variant. The Northern variant (ISO-639: tji) is more widely spoken. This collection will contain data on language structure, phonological, lexical, and grammatical features. There will also be audio recordings of natural speech and folk literature. The aim is for this collection to contain the maximum amount of information about the language and about traditional culture expressed through the language, and to document other aspects of the language for which inadequate information exists. As part of the collection there will also be a reference grammar, a Tujia-Chinese-English dictionary, and corpora of traditional oral literature, which will be useful for both linguists and the speaker community, will be produced. Chinese will be used as the explanatory language in the grammars, and as the translation language for texts. Group represented Tujia (Bizika) people, China. Language information Southern Tujia (土家) is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the mountainous areas of central south China, and has no literary tradition or adequate documentation. It currently is in the final phase of an apparently inexorable decline: the number of native speakers is less than 1000, and almost every remaining speaker is bilingual in Tujia and Chinese. | ||
