The Study of the Folktales Told in Koine Fulfulde by the Urban Dwellers from the Mandara Mountain

在去喀麦隆的赛场之前，以及从赛场回来后，我试着写下我在赛场上的记录。在写下记录的材料后，我比较了民间故事的主题和类型。同时，我试图收集所有已经出版的书籍和文章，并进行阅读。还有许多未解决的问题。我越做研究，就越觉得在当地人中间工作的重要性。因为缺乏第一手资料。除了Godula Kosack(2001)的《Die Mafa》，几乎没有关于曼达拉民间故事的伟大材料。然而，她的材料不包含任何文本，无论是莫法还是富尔德语。因此，从一开始我就认为最重要的是准备富尔富德语和曼达拉语的完美文本。我能够用Koine、Fulfulde和MoFA准备课文。共获得219个故事。为了进一步学习的方便，我加上了英文简历。虽然我比较了喀麦隆北部219个MoFA故事和近2000个Fulbe民间故事，但除了一些从Fulbe借来的故事外，它们几乎没有相似之处。这意味着他们不受伊斯兰化的富尔贝人的影响，即使他们与富尔贝人毗邻而居，他们也没有受到富尔富德人的巨大影响。除了科因富尔富德人的民间故事外，我还收集了这些人的个人历史，研究了这些人的物质文化。一旦我完成了整个手稿，我将作为国家博物馆的报告之一发表。

Before going to the field in Cameroon, and after coming back from the field, I tried to write downwhat I recorded in the field. After the writing down the recorded materials, I compared the motifs, and types of the folktales. At the same time, I tried to collect all the already published books and articles, and read them. There are many unsolved problems. The more I carried out the research, the more need I felt the importance of working among the local people. For there is a lack of firsthand informatio. There are almost no great materials on the Mandara folktales except "Die Mafa" by Godula Kosack(2001). However, her material does nolt contain any texts either in Mofa or in Fulfulde.Thus, right from the beginning I thought the most important thing to do is the preparation of perfect text in Fulfulde and Mandara languages. I was able to prepare texts in Koine Fulfulde and Mofa. There are 219 stories obtained. For the convenience of the further study, I added the resume in English. Although I made a comparison between 219 Mofa stories and almost two thousand Fulbe folktales of northern Cameroon, there are very little similarities except some borrowed stories in Mofa from the Fulbe. This means that they are untouched by the Islamized Fulbe, and even if they live side by side with the Fulbe, they did not get a great influence from the Fulfulde speaking people.Besides folktales in Koine Fulfulde, I collected the personal histories of these people, and studied the material culture of these people.As soon as I can complete the whole manuscripts, I will publish it as one of the National Museum Reports.
