English

edit

Tausug is a regional language, native to the Sulu Archipelago. Due to its current situation, the official dictionary of the language is still not sufficient enough to interpret the main idea of words, such as the word "Kawman" has 3 and more similar meaning in English. Hence, an alternative way must be used to deliver the main meaning of a word. Therefore, it is advisable to use loanwords from English, Spanish and Malay languages (Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia). But, do not take the whole words literally as it will violate the phonological rule of this language. Hence, this page will provide a main (but not official) guide to take some loanwords from other languages.

Affixes

edit

Before creating a loan words, try to compare the new derivative words between English and Spanish. Remove the 'gender' of the words, like Spanish with their -o, -e, and -a suffixes. This is because, Tausug nouns do not have gender specifications. Such as:

If the derivative words come from Spanish language, remove the gender suffixes and apply the adjustment.

  • territorio → territori (remove the o) → teritori (combine the rr into r) → tirituri (Tausug)
  • provincia → probincia (v into b) → probinci (removal of -a) → probinsi (c into s) → prubinsi (Tausug)
  • gramatika → gramatik (removal of -a) → gramatik (Tausug)
  • presidente → president (removal of e) → presiden (removal of silent consonant) → prisidin (Tausug) or Panguha

Overlapping Derivative

English and Spanish is a two different languages, and some suffixes with same usage are in different form in those two languages. As example:

-ity vs -dad

mentality (Englsh) vs mentalidad (Spanish) → mentaliti? or mintalidat? (Tausug)

probability (English) vs probabilidad → probabiliti? vs prubabilidat? (Tausug)

Thus, to settle this dispute, the Spanish derivative is used because it may help the Tausug people to understand more with Filipino language and might increased their intelligibility.
