 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 This little pamphlet is intended to be an elementaiy aid to the 
 beginning of the study of the Moro dialect as spoken in the vicinity 
 of Cotabato, Parang Parang, Malabang, and Baras, and with varia- 
 
 ; tions around the Lake of Lanao. 
 
 rv It will in time be found to be inaccurate in some minor particulars, 
 
 :^ but as it is the lirst thing of its kind in the English language no 
 
 ^apology is ottered. 
 
 ^ The continental value of the vowels has been used in the spelling on 
 
 - account of the simplicity and its common sense. It also takes up so 
 much less space than to use our antiquated method. For instance, the 
 
 ^ expression ''Where are you going T' is simply written "Andau Ka 
 
 :;; Pagangay?" instead of "Ahndah-ookah pagangeye?" which would be 
 the only way to express it so that no one could mistake it. Most 
 
 '^. of those who will want a book of this kind will be familiar with the 
 
 I Spanish language to some extent, and so will have no difliculty with 
 
 "^ the method. 
 
 y After one has become somewhat familiar with the dialect I would 
 recommend the purchase of the dictionary of Father Juan Martin, 
 
 ^ but not before, as its many inaccuracies will only serve to confuse the 
 
 i5 student and give entirely wrong impressions.

 A PRIMER OF THE MORO LANGUAGE. 
 
 GENERAL. CONSIDERATIONS. 
 
 One point wliicli is of such prime importance that an ignorance of 
 it would preclude any possi})ilitv of learning- the lanj^uag-e will be 
 spoken of tir.st. This is the almost universal use of the passive voice, 
 which is carried to the extreme. The active voice is used only, or 
 nearly so, in an intransitive sense, as per the following- expressions: 
 "1 gave him a dollar." = " Iningay ku salkanin su isa pilak," the literal 
 translation of which is " Was given b}^ me to him the one dollar." 
 
 was given =iningay 
 by me =ku 
 
 to him =salkaniii 
 
 the one (lollar=su isa pilak 
 
 Thus the transitive sense is nearly always expressed by the passive 
 voice. As an example of the active intransitive the following is 
 given: "I am sleeping." = "Pud-tulug aku," or literally, "Sleeping 
 am I;" or "1 sleep "="Tumulug aku." 
 
 These examples are given very briefl}" here, and will be taken up 
 more full}^ in another place. . 
 
 THE AKTICLE. 
 
 The articles are three in number, as follows: 
 
 I 
 
 1 Su =The 
 
 Singular ^2 Sa =To the, or of the, or from the 
 
 1 3 Kanu =To the, or of the, or from the 
 rl Su mga = To the 
 
 Plural < 2 Sa mga =To the, or of the, or from the 
 
 Ls Kanu mga=To the, or of the, or from the 
 
 The proper article is one prefixed to a Christian (?) (Moro) name, as 
 the Moro always says "The John," or "To the John," instead of 
 simply saying "John" or "To John." 
 
 1 Si =The. 
 
 2 Kani=To, of, or from the. 
 
 Instead of the second form, the word na or ni is sometimes used to 
 express the genitive case, as "The house of John," Su ualay ni, John, 
 or "The hair of the dog," "Su buk na asu." Used in this way it is 
 
 5
 
 6 PRIMER OF THE MORO LANGUAGE. . 
 
 preferable. The name of God is by custom preceded by the common ; 
 article Su or Kanu. j 
 
 EXAMPLES. ' 
 
 Su kalimu na Alatala =The love of God. 
 
 Andau .su ban-gala ku? =Where is my coat? 
 
 Inin-gay ku kani John =1 gave it to John. 
 
 Andau su mga (manga) sundaru?= Where are the soldiers? 
 
 ACCENT. J 
 
 General rules. — Words of two syllables, accent first; three syllables, accent second; 
 
 four syllables, accent third. J 
 
 1 
 THE NOUN. 
 
 Many nouns are deriv^ed from other words — nouns, verbs, and adjec- 
 tives. A few examples are given. 
 
 FROM NOUNS. . ; 
 
 From Kalabaza, squash =Kalabaza-an, a place of squashes. ; 
 
 From Niug, cocoanut =Niug-an, a place of cocoanuts. ■ 
 
 From Palau, mountain =Palau-an, a place of mountains. ; 
 
 From Surat, a letter =Pa-su-surat, a clerk. : 
 
 From Tugus, a net =Pa-tu-tugus, a fisherman. , 
 
 FROM ADJECTIVES. ' 
 
 I 
 
 From Ma-item, black =Ka-item, blackness. i 
 
 From Ma-pia, good =Ka-pia, goodness. 
 
 From Ma-lat, bad =Ka-lat, badness. i 
 
 From Ma-rangit, mad =Ka-rangit, madness, anger. ', 
 
 From Ma-puti, white =Ka-puti, whiteness. 
 
 FROM VERBS. \ 
 
 I 
 
 From lug, wish =K(a)-iug, a wish. s 
 
 From Patay, to be dead =Ka-patay, death. 
 
 From Tulug, to sleep =Ka-tulug, sleep. -i 
 
 From Ulug, to fall =Ka-ulug, fall. 
 
 From N-galabuk, to work=Kan-galabuk, work. 
 
 From Kan, to eat =Ka-kan, meal. • i 
 
 From Tau, to know =Ka-tau, knowledge. 
 
 i 
 
 Thus it will be seen that noun.s are formed from nouns bv suffixino- I 
 the particle ""an"" to nouns to indicate "a place of," and the prefix \ 
 "pa'' with a repetition of the first sj^llable to indicate an employment; 
 from verbs by prefixing- the particle Ka (see also conjugations); from j 
 adjectives b}^ prefixing the particle "Ka" to the root. \ 
 
 I 
 
 ADJECTIVES. I 
 
 Adjectives are almost always distinguished by their beginning with \ 
 the particle "Ma;" as, for instance: | 
 
 Ma-tilak = smooth. Ma-tanus = clean. Ma-idu = little. 
 
 Ma-ugat = heavy. Ma-singit = stingy. Ma-sla = big.

 VERBS. 
 
 On the. followino' paj>os arc given some examples of Moro vei'))s and 
 tlieii- chano-es in the form of conjugations. A few general rules are 
 liiN'cn first. 
 
 V.VKIOIS IvUMCS. 
 
 I. The root is used fre({uently foi" tlie imperative. 
 
 •2. The present partieipU; is used for verl)s in the transitive. 
 
 3. The participle ''su" is used before the singular object of a transi- 
 tive verb in the passive. 
 
 4. The participle "sa" is used before the singuhir objecit of transi- 
 tive verbs in the active ("kanu" may also be used). 
 
 5. The active form of verbs is used when in an intransitive sense. 
 
 6. The singular pronouns "aku," "ka," and "sekanin" follow active 
 forms of the verb. 
 
 7. The singular pronouns "ku," "nka," " nin " follow passive forms 
 of the verb. 
 
 8. The present participle is formed by prefixing the participle "pa," 
 "pe,"" "pini,''' "pid," "ped," and "peg," "pen," "ping" to the root 
 of the present. 
 
 9. The infinitive is always formed in the active when purely an 
 infinitive. 
 
 10. An infinitive used as a verbal noun is formed by the particle 
 "ka" or "kal)pa-g" when in a past sense, "kina.'' 
 
 II. The passive is frequently formed by suffixing the particle "an" 
 or "en" after the root; i. e., "lusudan," "embalen." 
 
 12. The active by " um," after the first consonant, " lusud-lumusud," 
 " sulat sumulat." 
 
 13. The verb to love, in the active voice, can onl}^ be used to express ; 
 love for a number of persons or anything except one particular person. 
 
 14. Following the principal form of the gerund, the combination of 
 "ku-salka," or " ngka-salkanin," as "su kailay ku salka makapia su 
 ginaua ku,'' " It makes my heart good to see you." 
 
 15. "Maka'' and "naka" express the "power to do." "Makasulat 
 uku,'' 1 can write; "nakasulat aku," I could write. 
 
 16. "Paca" or "paka" prefixed to imperative or root expresses an 
 order: "Pa-kaan ka sa kuda," or "Order the horse to eat" or "Feed 
 the horse." The past is " Pina-kambuat ku su manga tau," "lordered 
 the people to get up." 
 
 17. Gerunds usually in the passive. 
 
 IS. "When" is followed by "i" instead of su in sentences like 
 this: "When are you going?" Canu i kaganat ka ? " When the go 
 away you," or "The going away you," used as an abstract noun.
 
 8 
 
 PRIMEK OF THE MORO LANGUAGE. 
 
 19. In reference to the particle "paka" or "pinaka" note these 
 examples: 
 
 Pabetay aku nin=To strike ordered am I by him. 
 Pinabetay aku nin=To strike ordered was I by him. 
 
 In the first case "pa" is used instead of "paka." 
 
 20. Ipabetay aku nin=Struck ordered am I by him. ' 
 Inipabetay aku nin= Struck ordered was I by him. 
 
 In this case the action is reflexive and is a "double passive." 
 
 21. "I" prefixed to a root makes it mean "to do with"" whatever it 
 may be; as, for instance: 
 
 Igamut ku su gamut salka=I cure you with medicine. 
 Iteped ku su patuk sa kayu=I cut with the hatchet the tree. 
 
 22. To love each other or to fight each other, etc., is expressed by 
 the suffix "ay " as follows: 
 
 Pegcalimuay 8ilan=They love each other. 
 Pembunuay silan=They fight each other. 
 
 The suffix "ay" is always added to the present participle. 
 
 23. " Who " at the beginning- of an interrogative sentence is followed 
 by "i." 
 
 24. In questions in regard to the time of doing anything use the 
 gerund. "When did j^ou come down?" kanu i kinalusud ngka. 
 
 25. Note the following peculiarities: 
 
 Nakainum aku=I could drink. 
 
 Di aku makainum=I can not drink. 
 
 Da aku makainum kagay=I could not drink yesterday. 
 
 26. All verbs forming the present with the prefix " ed," as edsagayan 
 aku, form the past with "mid," as midsagayan aku. 
 
 27. The same with "ub" present, or with "mib" or "pib" for the 
 past.
