Zophei Language Resource
About the Language
Zophei (or Zyphe, ISO 639-3 ZYP) is a previously undescribed member of the Maraic branch of Kuki-Chin (or South-Central Tibeto-Burman), spoken in southern Thantlang Township, Chin State, Burma/Myanmar and by thousands of speakers in Indianapolis, Indiana. There are three major dialects of Zophei, referred to here as: Upper Zophei (exemplified by the Nuitah/Leitak variety), Lower Zophei A (exemplified by the Tlawngrang variety, ZYP_TRZ), and Lower Zophei B (exemplified by the Lawngtlang variety, ZYP_LTZ).
About the Collection
This collection includes Samson Lotven’s Ph.D thesis The Sound Systems of Zophei Dialects and Other Maraic Languages, as well as an excel spreadsheet version of the word list found therein, and accompanying audio recordings of that word list. More information about the word list and recorded data can be found in Section 3.3 of the thesis.
