R.M. Blench Moro Wordlist Circulated for comment 1. Introduction This is a preliminary dictionary of the Moro language, spoken originally in some vx villages of the Nuba Hills, but principally by dislocated communities in Khartoum. This version was prepared during February and March 2004. 2. Location, history and sociolinguistic situation 2.1 Dialects and nomenclature Table 1. Nomenclature of Moro IPA Orthographic Gloss person people location language There are seven recognised dialects of Moro, although there are only six clans. Table 2. Moro dialects Dialect name Comment Layenia Tobə}elda Uləba Lənəbwa Ndërria does not correspond to a clan Ləmwarəŋ Ləŋorəban New Testament translation
The name ‘Moro’ derives from the name of the Ləmwarəŋ dialect.
2.2 Location and settlements Table 3 shows the main settlements and recognised dialects of Moro, with their IPA rendering, orthographic spelling and common (map) spelling. Table 3. Moro settlements Subgroup

2.4 Moro culture and history
2.5 Previous literature Moro has had informal linguistic work since the 1930s when scriptural materials began to be published. A first version of the New testament was published in 1965 and a revised version in 1993. Black & Black (1971) published a monograph on the Moro language arising out of this work. Schadeberg (1981) published a summary account of Moro as part of a survey of the Heiban group of languages. In 1997 and 1998, a volunteer work named Elizabeth Guest did a number of studies of Moro with the Moro Literacy Committee. This resulted in a series of notes, none of which are complete, and which did not take the observations of Schadeberg into account. Nonetheless, they contain much valuable information not available elsewhere. The present situation is thus that no reliable phonology of the Moro language has been published and in particular, the tone system is virtually unknown. The orthography is problematic, and certainly does not match the descriptions of either Black & Black or Schadeberg. As Guest points out, Moro is split dialectically and the orthography of scriptural publications does not match the speech of most Moro. 3. Phonology
3.1 Vowels Moro has six phonemic vowels (Table 4); Table 4. Moro vowels Front Close Close-Mid

The Moro orthography uses a seventh grapheme, ‘ë’ which is intended to represent a stressed schwa, but the phonemic status of this vowel is doubtful.

3.3 Tones Moro tone is not written in the orthography and has never been fully investigated. Nonetheless, there appear to be three level tones.

R.M. Blench Moro Wordlist Circulated for comment 4. Morphology 4.1 Nouns Moro has a system of noun-classes typical of Niger-Congo languages as well as a concord system that applies to adjectives. Stevenson (1956-7), Schadeberg (1981) and Guest (1998) all give summaries of the affix alternations. Stevenson developed a numbering system for Nuba Mountains languages that depends on the assumption that Kadu languages were Niger-Congo and that noun-classes could be defined by semantic sets similar to those postulated for Bantu. Guest follows Stevenson in both cases, producing sometimes counter-intuitive results. The following outline therefore tries to provide another view of the data. Table 6 shows the surface affix pairings in Moro, with a remark if they are unique or rare and an example. Table 7 shows suppletive plurals, i.e. those that seem quite unpredictable on the surface, although the boundary between these and single case affix-pairings is not clearly defined. Table 6. Moro singular prefixes with plural pairings Sg. prefix Pl. prefix Incidence Oione case only Olone case only Oŋətwo cases only ae-, i-, la-, naca-, cə? dərə diidr-, yda ra-, yade o-, redə e-, i-, o-, rə-, u-, yədo o-, ro-, yodo ru-, yuelə-, n-, ne-, nəəe-, ŋəgnganagələ-, ndəilə-, nd-, nəlŋ-, ñlana-, ña-, ŋale ŋe-, ñeləe-, ŋə-, ñəliŋi-, ñiloŋo-, ñoluŋu-, ñumali-, one case only naenəŋəone case only ŋ-/d- one case only ŋd-, ñol-, lə-, n, nd-, nə-, nordrəi}(ə)ñ(ə)-, ŋ(ə)-, ŋoulə-, lu-, n-, nd-, nə-, nuu}nd-, nuiv
