INTRODU CTION.
Th is l itt le pam phlet i s i ntended to be an e lemen tary aid to the
beginn ing of the study of the Moro d ialect as spoken i n the V icin ityof Cotabato , Para
’ng Parang,Malabang
,and B aras , and w ith var ia
tions around the L ake of L anao .
It w i l l i n t ime be found to be inaccurate in some minor particulars,
7 but as i t is the first th ing of its k ind in the Engl i sh language noapo logy i s offered .
"The con tinenta l value of the vowe ls has been used in the spel l ing onaccoun t of the simpl ici ty and its common sense . I t also takes up somuch less space than to use our antiquated method . F or instance
,the
expression “Where are you going ?” is simply w r itten “Andau Ka
Pagangay ?” in stead of “A hndah -ookah pagangeye ?
” which w ou ld bethe on ly way to express it so that no one could mistake it . Mostof those who w i l l wan t a book of this k ind w il l be fami liar w ith theSpanish language to some exten t
,and so w il l have no difficu l ty w ith
the method .
After one has become somewhat fami l iar w ith the d ia lect I w ou ldrecommend the purchase of the d ictionary of F ather Juan Martin
,
but no t before,as its many inaccuracies w i l l on ly serve to confuse the
student and give en tirely w rong impressions .

A PRIMER'
O F THE MORO LANGUAGE.
GEN ER A L CON S I D ER A TI ON S .
One point which is of such pr ime importance that an ignorance ofi t w ould preclude any poss ibi l ity of
’
learn ing the language w i l l bespoken of firs t . This is the almost un iversal u se of the passive voice
,
which is carried to the extreme . The active vo ice is used on ly,or
near ly so,i n an in transitive sense
,as per the fo l low ing expressi ons"
1 gave him a I ningay ku salkanin su isa pi lak ,”the l iteral
translation of w hich is Was given by m e to h im the one do l lar .
”
was gi ven = iningay
by m e =ku
to h im salkan in
the“
one dol lar=su i sa pi lak
Thus the trans itive sense i s near ly a lway s expressed by the passivevo ice . As an exam ple of the active in transitive the fol low ing i sgiven"“ I am -tu lug aku ,
” or l iteral ly,
“S leep ing
am I ;” or “ I s leep ”" “
Tum ulug aku .
”
These examples are given very briefly here,and w i l l be taken up
more ful ly in another place .
TH E ARTICL E .
The artic les are three in numbe r,as fol low s
1 Su =The
Singular 2 Sa To the , or o f the , or from the
3 Kanu To the , or of the , or from th e
1 Su m ga To the
Plu ra l 2 Sa m ga To the, or of the , or from the
3 Kanu m ga=To the , or of the , or from th e
The proper article is one prefixed to a Chri stian ( 2) (More ) name , asthe More always says “The J ohn
,
” or “ To the John ,” instead of
S imply say ing “John ” or To J ohn .
1 Si =The .
2 Kan i=To, of , or from the .
Instead of the second form,the w ord na or ni is sometimes used to
express the genitive case,as “The hou se of J ohn ,
” Su ualay ni,J ohn ,
or “The hair of the dog,
” “Su buk na asu .
” U sed in this way it i s

preferab le . The name of God is by custom preceded bv the commonarticle Su or Kanu .
E"AM PLES .
Su kal im u na A latala — Th e love of God .
Andau su ban-
gala ku? Wh ere i s m y coat?In in-
gay ku kan i John I gave i t to John .
Andau su m ga (m anga ) sundaru?=Where are the sold iers?
ACCENT.
Genera l rules — Words of two syl lables , accen t first ; th ree syl lables , accent second ;fou r syl lables , accent th i rd .
TH E NOUN .
Many nouns are der ived from other words— nouns , verbs , and adjectiy es . A f ew examples are given .
F ROM NOU NS .
F rom Kalabaza, squash Kalabaza—an , a place of squashes .
F remNiug, cocoanut N iug-ah
, a place of cocoanuts .
F rom Palau, m ountain Palau-an,a place of m ountains .
F rom Surat,a letter Pa-su-surat , a clerk .
F rom Tugus , a ne t Pa-tu-tugus , a fisherm an .
F ROM ADJECTIVES .
F rom Ma-i tem,black Ka-i tem ,
blackness .
F rom Ma—
pia , good Ka-pia, goodness .
F rom Ma-lat,bad Ka-lat , badness .
F rom Ma-rangi t , m ad Ka-rangi t , m adness,anger.
F rom Ma—puti,wh i te Ka-puti
,w hi teness .
F ROM VERB S .
F rom I ug, w i sh K (a) -iug ,a wi sh .
F rom Patay, to be dead Ka-patay , death .
F rom Tulug, to s leep — ~Ka-tulug, s leep .
F rom U lug, to fal l Ka—u lug, fal l .F rom N-
galabuk ,to work=Kan~
galabuk , work .
F rom Kan, to eat Ka-kan ,
m eal .F rom Tau
,to know — Ka-tau
,know ledge .
Thus it w il l be seen that nouns are formed from nouns by suffix ing
the particle “ an ” to nouns to ind icate “ a place of,
” and the prefix“ pa ” w ith a repetition of the first sy l lable to ind icate an employment ;from verbs by prefix ing the particle Ka (s ee also conjugations) ; fromadjectives by prefix ing the partic le Ka
” to the root.
A DJ E CTIV E S .
Adjectives are a lmost alway s d istinguished by the ir beginning w iththe particle “
Ma ;” as
,for instance"
Ma—ti lak sm ooth . Ma— tanus clean . Ma-i du l i ttle .
Ma-ugat h eavy . Ma-S ingi t s tingy. Ma-s la b ig.
