Hello!

This will be my last post to CONLANG for at least three months, unless I lo=
cate
a computer in California and read the list through eGroups' archive, which,
being a mailing list addict I probably will.  Please don't send any mail to
my Swiss address as I won't be here to receive it; send it to:
  vehreneld@usa.net  which I use when I'm out-of-country.

My webpage (which is missing a few chapters yet which I wasn't able to uplo=
ad,
but I'll probably upload those from the US, as I'm taking them with me on d=
isk.
The page just received its 1000th visit today :) is at:

  http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/5555/ven.htm
 =20
Please update your links/bookmarks if they still point to the old page, as =
I
no longer update that one.


Below is the natlang list, will an expanded entry on Mandarin thanks to Kou=
.
If you have questions, corrections, new entries, etc., *don't* send them to
me in Switzerland as I won't be here, and don't bother me with them in
California as I won't care anyway ;-)
Over to Carlos for now!

  Country (two names in different romanization systems, both Mandarin, for

    zhonguo / Zhong Hua Ren Min Gong He Guo
      This is the name of the People's Republic of China (i.e. mainland
      China), adopted after the revolution in 1949. It is written in the
      mainland's pinyin romanization system. (think Mao Zedong)
    Chung-hwa Min-kuo
      This is the Republic of China, the goverment set up in 1911 following
      the fall of the dynasties. The seat of that government is now here in
      Taiwan, which (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) still claims to be the
      sovereign government of all of China. (think Ching Kai-shek) The

   country name:
      -"Republika ng Pilipinas" [re'pu:blika naN pili'pi:nas].
      -Commonly called "Pilipinas" [pili'pi:nas]

   national language:
      -"Pilipino" [pili'pi:noh] - based on "Tagalog"
      [ta'ga:log], the language spoken in and around Manila
      (locally called "Maynila" [maj'ni:lah]).

   a Filipino (anyone from the Philippines regardless of mother-
   tongue):
      -"Pilipino" [Pilipi:noh].
      -Colloquially this is "Pinoy" [pi'noj].
      -Both of the above terms are also used as adjectives.

   a native Tagalog-speaker:
      "Tagalog" [ta'ga:log], apparently a contraction of "taga
      ilog" [taga'?i:log] meaning 'dweller from the river' or
      'river-dweller'.

   a Tagalog from Manila:
      -"Tagamaynila" [tagamaj'ni:lah].
      -"Maynila" [maj'ni:lah] is apparently a contraction of "may
      nilad" [maj 'ni:lad] meaning 'there are nilad flowers', thus
      "tagamaynila" originally meant a 'dweller from the place
      with nilad flowers'.

Slovak Republic (separated from Czechoslovakia in 1993)
  country name: Slovenska' republika ('=3D3D acute)
  national language: slovenc^ina (^=3D3D hachek)
  NB: Slovak is the official language, but Hungarian is widely spoken in
  Southern Slovakia. There is also a sizable Roma ("gypsy") population.
  Until the ethnic ravages and dislocations of WWII, Slovak, Czech,
  German, Hungarian, Yiddish, Romany, and Ruthenian were all spoken in
  Slovak territory.
  Slovak person: slova'k (m), slovenka (f)
  Slovak (adj): slovensky' (m), slovenska' (f), slovenske' (n)
  pronunciation: the accent in Slovak always falls on the first syllable.
  orthography: Czech was used as a literary language in Slovakia until the
  19th century, when L'udovit S^tu'r definitively codified Slovak as a
  written language.
  etymology: The word "Slovak" is derived from the word for "Slavic"
  (slovensky'=3DSlovak; slovansky'=3DSlavic). Slovak and Czech are distinct
  but mutually intelligible languages. Slovak also has a close affinity to
  Polish. According to the Slovaks themselves, Slovak is a good first
  language from which to learn other Slavic languages such as Polish,
  Serbian, and Russian.

  Ferenc's critique: I would disagree...I would suggest Slovenian or Serbia=
n
    (in that order) due to their archaicness and closeness to Old Slavic.
