Today in 21st Century and in the age of Globalization ''Lhaovo'' as a small nation we are struggle to stand among giant nations, but we are God's children, we have the right as other nations and people around the world, no less not more!.
My intention is to share my knowledge about Lhaovo's concern and want Lhaovo people to be able to speak and write their own languge and literature.
Most of Lhaovo people are surviving and living under great influence of Jingpho , also one of The Kachins so they tend to be perdominantly overshadow by those people around them but every single Lhaovo knows that they have to promote their Language and literature according to God's will in order the Gospel to be preached to the nations in their native dialect ( heart language).
Here is some lesson to learn for those who want to learn how to write and speak Lhaovo.
Its simple , we will see Roman alphabets in Lhaovo Literature.
just like English we have Consonants and Vowels, but the main point to read Lhaovo correctly is to study its six tones signature which comprise with ;
Thoe qao: (- ) = basic sound ( e.g. ba = sun)
Thoe nyham (-,) = lower sound (kad' ge,= do it)
Thoe lhang'' (-;) = round sound (lo; va' = come over here)
Thoe qhang (-:) = longer song ( kad' lang: = let's do )
Thoe zhaug' (-') = short and stronger sound ( thug' = out or emerge)
Thoe myao (-'') = high and longer sound ( ra'' nga'' mao:= dear my brother)
Consonats are: B , C , D , F , G , J , K , L , M , N , P , Q , R , S , T , V , W , X , Y , Z
Vowels are: A , E , I , O , U.
you will notice that '' H'' is not in consonants list because in Lhaovo ''H'' is like joker , as you learn you will come to see how ''H'' use in Lhaovo. Thanks for your interest in Lhaovo literture. Hope to see you on second lesson.
