Ojibway Language
Considered by those who are fluent in Chippewa or Ojibway Language, to be a language that is musical, the language has not yet disappeared. Below is a list of Ojibway words written in syllables to let be known how they are pronounced. You'll learn there is music in Ojibway Language! Ojibway is a monosyllabic language! However, looking at the words you'll learn Ojibway Language has been corrupted! Today, the Anishinabe language is still spoken by close to 200,000 people in Canada and the United States, especially Canada. All Algonquians are Ojibway and speak Ojibway. We know that from 19th century Ojibway authors. There are several Ojibwe Dialects. Most numerous is the Cree Dialect of Ojibway Language. And, again, we know from 19th century Ojibway authors, that Cree is a dialect of Ojibway Language. Cree People are really the Athabascan Beaver Tribe. They have a few Reserves in Alberta and British Columbia. They were Ojibway Traitors that caused civil war among Ojibway People.
It is easy to see a relationship in language between Anishinabek and blacks and whites of the Mediterranean region. Just comparing Ojibway Language to those of black Africans, we can tell that Anishinabek and blacks are more closely related. To pronounce Anishinabe words correctly, you'll need to do extensive study, but just knowing a few simple firsts can help out a lot. For example, when you see an Anishinabe word with the "gi" at the beginning, middle or end (except where an obvious following letter does not lead to a new syllable) you'll want to pronounce it as "geek", but without pronouncing the ending "k" sound". The "ie" sounds like "yay." You never pronounce the Anishinabe "gi", as gelatin, gem, gender, gene, general, generic, gentile, ect. The same applies to "ga", "ge" (the ge sounds like gay as in gate but without pronouncing the ending t sound) and "go". I have changed the "ka", "ke", "ki", and "ko" to a "Q", When you se a "q" remember that it stands for the "ka", "ke", "ki", and "ko", sounds. The "ke" sound, sounds like "kay", as in o-kay. The "ki" sound, sounds like the "key", as in a door key. Prefixes to look for include "ish" which is a pejorative. Ojibway's used "ish" to let be known their dislike for something. Suffixes to look for include "ang," "ing," "ong," and "oong." They are locatives! And ka-mig or qa-mig is another suffix. If a "j" precedes another "j," it's pronounced like Jan, Jealous, Jet, Joke. They almost always place a "d" before the "j." If the "j" precedes a vowel, it's pronounced like the letter "g." If the "j" does not precede another "j," it's pronounced like "zhi." Same applies to "chi." You pronounce "chi" like the "che" in "cheating." The ? means uncertainty in how the word ends!
