Iroquois & Hurons

We've seen them fighting in movies: Iroquois and Huron. In fact, these peoples spoke related Iroquoian languages, but were articulated in distinct political unions: the Huron Confederacy formed by 4 tribes and the Iroquois Confederacy formed by 6 nations (Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca and Tuscarora). These confederacies were used in wars by European powers. The result: all were equally subdued by the Europeans, the Huron being almost eliminated as a people. The Wyandot people are part of the last remnants of the Huron.

Irokesak eta Huroiak

Irokesak eta Huroiak: filmetan ikusi ditugu borrokan. Egiazki, herri hauek elkarrengandik hurbil zeuden, hizkuntza irokesak hitz egiten zituzten, baina politikoki bi bloketan antolatu ziren: lau talde Huroien Konfederazioan eta beste sei Irokesenean (Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca eta Tuscarora). Konfederazio hauek frantses eta britainiarrek erabili zituzten elkarren kontra aritzeko.Ondorioa: europarren dominazio erabatekoa, eta zorte txarxeagoa Huroientzat, erabat deuseztu baitzituzten herri gisa. Huroien azken taldea, Wyandot herria, EEBBetan bizi da orain.

Mohawk

The Mohawk or Kanienkehaka people number some 10,000 people, divided between the USA and Canada (Ontario and Quebec). Allegedly some 3,000 speak the Mohawk language, half of them in the US. The Mohawk nation is one of the seven nations that formed the historic Iroquois Confederacy. We have two tables, one with placenames in general, and the other for the Mohawk reservations in Quebec.

Kanien'kehá:ka

Mohawk edo Kanienkehaka herria 10.000 laguneko nazio indiarra da, EEBBen eta Kanadaren artean (Ontario, Quebec) zatitua. Horietarik 3.000 bat milak eusten omen dio hizkuntzari, erdiek EEBBetan. Mohawk herria izan zen Irokesen Konfederazioa osatu zuen zazpi nazio indiarretako bat. Bi taula ditugu, baita jeneralekoa, eta bestea Quebeceko Mohawk erreserbena.

Cayuga

The Cayuga are one of the Iroquoian Nations. Now they live mostly in Six Nations reserve, in Ontario, Canada. But in all they are some 3,000 including USA. The language, called Gayogohó:no' in Cayuga itself, is only spoken by some 360 speakers in Canada and 10 speakers in the US (1991). We have two tables, one with placenames in general, and the other (above) for the Mohawk reservations in Quebec.

Regarding spellings, nasalized vowels are marked in Cayuga with an ogonek, but here they are represented with diaeresis [ë / ö]. Underlines indicate devoiced "whispered" vowels, and [:] indicates long vowels.

->

Gayogohó:no'

Cayuga herria da Irokesen konfederazio fundatu zuen taldeetako bat. Gaur gehienak Sei Nazioen erreserban bizi dira, Ontarion, Kanadan. Guztira 3,000 lagun, EEBBetakoak barne, baina oso hiztun gutxi: 1991n, 360 Kanadan eta soilik 10 Estratu Batuetan. Bi taula ditugu, baita jeneralekoa, eta bestea goian Quebeceko Mohawk erreserbena.

Idazkerari dagokionez, Cayuga hizkuntzan ogonek batekin markatzen dira bokal sudurkariak, baina hemen bi punttuttorekin jarri ditugu. Azpimarrak, azentuak eta bi puntuak ere [:] bokalen ezaugarriak markatzeko erabiltzen dira.
