抄録

application/pdf

In this article, I transcribe recorded material, in which, for the most part, a folktale is told in the Kitumbatu dialect of Swahili. In the coastal areas of Eastern Africa, there are several language varieties regarded as local dialects of Swahili (cf. Nurse & Hinnebusch 1993). Kitumbatu is one of these, spoken by people on Tumbatu Island, off the northwest tip of Unguja, as well as the ancestors of Tumbatu immigrants in some part of northern Unguja. There are two wards on Tumbatu, Gomani and Jongowe, and the main speaker of the narrative is from the latter. In this narrative material, there are a number of linguistic features which have previously not been described (cf. Stude 1995, Takemura 1999, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, Baraza la Kiswahili la Zanzibar 2012). These features suggest not only that the description of Kitumbatu is incomplete as of yet, but also that there is dialectal variation within the varieties summarised as ‘Kitumbatu’. The main purpose of this article is to share primary linguistic data which contributes to advancing the description of Kitumbatu.
