AFRICAN LANGUAGE STUDIES THROUGH INFORMANTS AVAILABLE IN JAPAN

以Herry Runkulatile先生为线人，主要对Haya进行了研究。哈亚语是坦桑尼亚西北角使用的班图语，西临卢旺达，东临维多利亚湖。大约有1200,000人说这种语言。对这种语言的方方面面都进行了调查，但语气是主要的研究领域。HAYA可以被描述为一种从声调语言向重音语言过渡的语言。例如，在孤立的情况下，名词只有一个高调的Mora(如果是双元音，则只有一个音节)，这是类似语言如日语的一个特征。作为研究的结果，编制了一个包含大量声调变化实例的词汇。

With Mr. Herry Runkulatile as an informant, research was done mainly on Haya. Haya is a Bantu language spoken in the northwestern corner of Tanzania, facing Rwanda to the west and and Lake Victoria to the east. It is spoken about 1,2000,000 people.All aspects of the language is investingated, but tone was the main area of research. Haya can be characterized as language in transition from atone language to an accent language. In isolation, for example, nouns have only one high-toned mora (or syllable in case of a diphthong), which is a characteristic trait of assent lan-guages such as Japanese.As a result of research, a vocabulary with ample examples of tonal alternations is complied.
