Other comments: Afitti is spoekn by approximately 4,000 speakers in east Jebel ed Dair, main center is Sidra, North Kordofan state, Sudan. Afitti has a decimal system. Noteː See published phonology (de Voogt 2009, Studies in African Languages) for the exact phonetic rendering (e.g., closed syllables have an effect on the vowel quality). The rendering of r and l is confused in my view and has not been double-checked. The morphology is largely unknown so the word breaks are tentative. The word for twenty is also the word for ‘body’. The numbers 14-19 and 60-90 are thought to be regular combinations but where not collected separately. |
