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

在去喀麦隆实地考察之前，以及从实地考察回来之后，我都试图把我在实地所记录的记录下来。在记录材料之后，我比较了民间故事的主题和类型。与此同时，我试图收集所有已经出版的书籍和文章，并阅读它们。还有许多未解决的问题。我做的研究越多，我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的《Die Mafa》（2001）之外，几乎没有关于国语民间故事的优秀资料。然而，她的材料不包含任何文本，无论是在Mofa或Fulfulde。因此，从一开始，我就认为最重要的事情是准备用full fulde和Mandara语言编写完美的文本。我能够准备Koine Fulfulde和Mofa的文本。共获得219个故事。为了便于进一步的学习，我添加了英文简历。尽管我将219个Mofa故事与喀麦隆北部近2000个Fulbe民间故事进行了比较，但除了一些从Fulbe借来的Mofa故事外，它们几乎没有什么相似之处。这意味着他们没有受到伊斯兰化的富尔比人的影响，即使他们与富尔比人生活在一起，他们也没有受到说富尔比语的人的很大影响。除了Koine Fulfulde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。一旦我完成整个手稿，我将作为国家博物馆报告之一出版。

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.
