All of these materials are based on the Northern Digo dialect spoken in Kenya. The Digo New Testament was finished in 2007. 2004) as well as a linguistic description in A Grammar of Digo (Nicolle 2013). The project has produced basic literacy materials and published a Digo-English-Swahili Dictionary using the new orthography (Mwalonya et al. This has been developed further by the Digo Language and Literacy Project of Bible Translation and Literacy (East Africa). 'ph' for the voiced bilabial fricative or approximant). Some assimilated Segeju and Degere are also said to speak their own separate varieties of Digo, presumably as a consequence of language shift (Nurse & Walsh 1992).ĭigo speakers usually write their language using an alphabet based on the Latin alphabet used for Swahili, with additional combinations of letters representing some of the sounds that are distinctive to Digo (e.g. Tsw’aka was once thought to have been a local variety of the Vumba dialect of Swahili, but is now considered to be a variety of Digo in the process of shifting to Vumba. Tsw’aka (or Chw’aka), spoken in and around the village of the same name on the Shimoni Peninsula of Kenya (Möhlig 1992, Nurse & Walsh 1992).Ts’imba, spoken in the Shimba Hills of Kenya between Vuga in the east and Ng’onzini in the west (Walsh 2006) and.Ungu (or Lungu, Southern Digo), spoken on the coastal strip south of Msambweni and across the border into northern Tanzania (Hinnebusch 1973).Chinondo (Northern Digo), spoken along the south Kenya coast between Likoni (south Mombasa) and Msambweni (Hinnebusch 1973).It is, however, felt by speakers to be sufficiently different from other Mijikenda dialects to deserve its own orthography and literature.ĭigo speakers recognise in turn a number of named varieties or dialects of their language. Digo is a member of the southern Mijikenda sub-group, and is most closely related to its neighbours Duruma and Rabai. The Mijikenda dialects are indeed mutually intelligible, though they are conventionally treated as separate languages. Most contemporary authorities follow Nurse and Hinnebusch (1993) in classifying Digo as a dialect of Mijikenda, one of the constituent languages of the Sabaki group of Northeast Coast Bantu. The classification and sub-classification of Digo provides a good example of the difficulty sometimes faced by linguists in differentiating languages and dialects.

#DIGO READ AND ANNOTATE HOW TO#
For many of us who have to annotate though (or who love doing so), the question becomes: how to annotate a book so your marks are done quickly and effectively? Here’s how. They can be expensive and it’s hard not to overthink what’s worth writing down. On the other hand, it’s hard to get over the mental block of writing in books. On one hand, highlighting and writing in the margins is a great way to interact with the text and leave a physical reminder of how a book made you feel at a certain point in time. To annotate or not to annotate: that is the age-old question of avid readers.
