摘要

如今人们所知的穆亚卡诗歌最早记录于 19 世纪 90 年代,主要由姆瓦利姆-西库朱阿 (Mwalimu Sikujua) 书写,他使用阿拉伯文字以及经过改编的斯瓦希里语-阿拉伯语书写系统来记录这种语言。西库朱阿在使用阿拉伯文字时的多变性以及他对变体拼写的使用表明,他的书写习惯是接受而不是避免正字法的变化。特别值得一提的是他使用的变音符号,包括 "shadda "和 "hamza"。穆亚卡的诗歌经常重复,诗人名字的书写也是如此,即使使用改编后的斯瓦希里-阿拉伯文字,西库尤亚也会使用多种拼写法。Sikujua 发明了最接近斯瓦希里语发音的解决方案,但他也详细了解并创造性地使用了各种阿拉伯符号和读音符号。用阿拉伯文字书写斯瓦希里语的复杂性得益于 Sikujua 的创造力。正是这种多才多艺和创造性在标准化研究中被认为是可取的,但却在很大程度上被忽视,并被误解为仅仅是不一致。

Sikujua’s Writing of Muyaka’s Poetry in Arabic Script: Versatility and Creativity

Muyaka’s poetry as it is known today was first recorded in the 1890s, mainly written down by Mwalimu Sikujua who used Arabic script as well as an adapted Swahili-Arabic writing system to document the language. Sikujua’s versatility when using the Arabic script as well as his use of variant spellings suggest a writing practice that embraces rather than avoids orthographic variation. His use of diacritics including the shadda and hamza is particularly noteworthy. Muyaka’s poems with their frequent repetitions as well as the writing of the poet’s name feature multiple spellings by Sikujua even when applying the adapted Swahili-Arabic script. Sikujua invented solutions that best approach a Swahili pronunciation but he also displays a detailed understanding and creative use of a wide range of Arabic signs and diacritics. The complexities of writing Swahili with Arabic script benefit from Sikujua’s creativity. It is this versatility and creativity that has been largely ignored and misinterpreted as merely inconsistent in studies where standardization is considered preferable.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts (JIM) explores the crucial importance of the handwritten book in the Muslim world. It is concerned with the written transmission of knowledge, the numerous varieties of Islamic book culture and the materials and techniques of bookmaking, namely codicology. It also considers activities related to the care and management of Islamic manuscript collections, including cataloguing, conservation and digitization. It is the Journal’s ambition to provide students and scholars, librarians and collectors – in short, everyone who is interested in Islamic manuscripts – with a professional journal and functional platform of their own. It welcomes contributions in English, French and Arabic on codicology, textual studies, manuscript collections and collection care and management. Papers will be peer-reviewed to maintain a high scholarly level. The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts is published on behalf of the Islamic Manuscript Association Limited, an international non-profit organization dedicated to protecting Islamic manuscripts and supporting those who work with them.
