Introduction/About

This Wikibook project on Tanchangya language which was started on August 1, 2011. It is an ongoing project that evolves as users contribute to the content and layout of the pages.

The goal of this project is to create an online textbook that will enable people for self-Taught Tanchangya Language Book. We will attempt to encompass all aspects of the Tanchangya language, including pronunciation, reading, writing, and grammar.

Current work

In the first five years, this wikibook went through several rewrites. Seeing all too few contributors keen on picking up the torch where past editors left off, the book had amassed several layers of rewritten material that did little to provide a clear path through the material. Waking to that reality after considerable discussion, we came up with the categorisation scheme now present on the main page. The Tanchangya/Contents page does not conform with that scheme as it is more an inventory for editors looking for existing material to work with (be it merging, re-factoring, deleting, or rewriting), rather than an index for learners.

Since December, 2011, a good deal of merges and rewrites has been done. As a result we've managed to delete over a hundred pages of unnecessary or duplicate material, navbars, printable versions, and templates. See Removal Suggestions for deletion proposals and discussions. For pages to be merged, see the Books to be merged category for a list of pages in this book that have been suggested be merged and Category:Tanchangya todo for pages with specific work to be done.

There hasn't been much discussion lately on the actual content since active editors Swift) have been working on somewhat separate aspects of this book. We have a section on pages on structure, lesson plans and syllabus. How much to teach and Levels might also be of interest for those so inclined. For development of a consistent curriculum see User:Tanchangya/Tanchangya Curriculum.

Finally; every contributor seems to have a different take on the purpose of this book. In your work, remember that learners have vastly different learning styles and diverse approaches to lesson plans will benefit readers and contributors alike. Until we have fully functioning learning paths, the categorisation scheme on the front page will make the existing material accessible to readers while allowing users to contribute without having to conform to a predefined form.

That said; pick your path and be bold.

Contributor's Guide

This page aims to help potential contributors better understand the principles behind the current work and give ideas for how best to add new material.

Structure to follow

This book has been restructured so many times but there is an effort under way to merge some of the duplicate material.

A syllabus and lesson plan was created for the so-called "Practical Lessons". This may be useful for future contributors, but never turned out any lessons.

User:Tongchangya sorted.

Lessons

There are many ways to organise a lesson, this is one:

1. Dialogue (by posters, conversations, or whatever.)
2. Discussion of Vocabulary in Dialogue
   • Discuss various uses of vocabulary if necessary (e.g., politeness)
   • Optional links to dialogues for previously learned vocabulary
3. Grammar
   • Discuss grammar points, giving more examples if necessary.
   • Link to previous grammar points (maybe by categories)
4. Optional Quick Review
5. Optional link to Wikiversity for practice work.

Reading material

Cuisine

Tanchangya Cuisine

In these days we could find American cuisine, French, Italian, Japanese, Burmese, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese and thousands more cuisines around the world. They have their own way of cuisine in terms of ingredients and amount of adding in the curry. Similarly, Tanchangya cuisine also unique, they cook with some common simple ingredients. There are many ways of cuisine in Tanchangya. However, here are some cuisines we could commonly find in the kitchen.

Suma dukya

It is one of the most delicious Tanchangya cuisine found in the Tanchangya kitchen. This type of cooking can be any kind of vegetable or meat and even fish. It is cooked with bamboo by heating in the fire. This type of cooking is tastier and properly cooked. While meat is cook, the meat becomes properly cooked and becomes delicious. But the most common of this type of cooking is proportionally added chilly with fish paste, salt and coriander. But all the ingredient spices are not added in every kind of this type of cooking. For example in the case of fish, ginger of coriander should be added to drive out the bad smell of fish and to make it delicious. Thus, depending on curry the ingredients are added according to the cuisine of Tanchangya.

Pogoin guya

This type of cuisine is commonly cooked such as banana, pumpkin, beet, yam and so forth. This is more like boiling with water. One can find a big difference between steaming and boiling after eating of the same item. It is heat with the water vapour unlike boiling directly dipping in the water. This is indeed delicious cuisine.

Gabitjya

This cuisine is similar kind of cooking with other curry. But the difference is only the additional grinding rice powder is added in the curry. Due to this ingredient the curry soup becomes thick and the curry also becomes properly cook. Commonly this cuisine is cooked some vegetable such as bamboo shoot, and a kind of ingredient spicy. This cuisine is very delicious due to rice grinding powder and proper cooking. This curry is normally cooked in the winter season.

Hawla guya

This cuisine type is like fry. This can be with oil or without oil. Although it is cooked with certain amount of water but it is cooked until all soup dry. It is delicious too with little more amount of salt. It is cooked normally the bitter gourd and so on.

Sikkya

It is a kind of cooking system in Tanchangya kitchen called grill in English. . It is cooked directly heat under high temperature. In fact, before heating, ingredient of turmeric, salt, and even chilly is added in the curry. Fish, meat, and some green vegetable of egg-plant, are usually cooked under this category of cooking. This cooking is tasty since it cooks only with its available water amount of the curry. Usuna It is just boiling of the curry. It is particularly boiled the green vegetable. Sometime by adding proper amount of salt in the curry with little amount of water, it becomes good tasty soap. This is commonly found in the Tangchangya kitchen. By boiling green vegetable and chili paste, they enjoy their lunch meal. Although, in any meal this curry is found, particullary we can find in the lunch meal. They eat sometime only with boil green vegetable and chili paste.

Jul guya

This type of curry is cooked almost all kinds of curry with the addition of fish paste, chili, salt, and other spicy ingredients. This is tasty indeed, by leaving some amount of water in the curry. This type of cooking is whether meat, fish or vegetable.

Dress

For weaving different types of cloths, alam is one the most important piece of cloth in Tanchangya culture. Since, in this small cloth most of the astonishing charts are woven, which is more like mathematical formula for doing all kinds of mathematics. During the weaving process, the small “alam kani” cloth should be nearby to look in time of weaving for various charts.

Pi-nuin

It is a piece of cloth wears by Tanchangya woman to cover lower part of the body. It is loincloth. This has various kinds of chart woven according to the chart concerned in Tanchangya culture and dress. The colour may be different but the charts are not astray away from the cultural dress.

Hari

It is also worn by Tanchangya woman to cover in the upper part of the body above the shirt. It is used around the neck and keeps for using during paying homage to the Buddha. This is indeed most gorgeous for its wonderful chart weaving.

Khaw-bawng

It is turban mostly wears by woman. Only very important ceremony man wears it. It is woven with some other colour strip and large parts are in white colour.

Sha-lum

It is blouse for woman with long hand. It is mostly wears by woman and made of with traditional weaving process.

Pha-dui

it is waist-band uses by woman. Although they wear according to the way of wearing by folding, they tied more tightly with the waist-band on the loincloth.

Bawt-duri

This is loincloth for man. This cloth is very long but circle around to cover the lower part of the body. It is more like legend that we could hear our ancestor wear bawt-duri. Nowadays, Tanchangya man wears only for souvenir and other documentary purpose. Other than that they are not use to. This loincloth is made of both indigenous and modern factory cloth.

Khut-shalum

This is suit for man. It is rather thick and convenient in the winter season. It is sewed manually and design according to one choice.

Conclusion

Actually we can say without hesitation that the traditional dresses in Tanchangya are mostly found in the woman. In case of Tanchangya man, they are not more use to wear only in the exceptional case of man who lives in the remote villages.
