DescriptionThe digital recording here accompanies an article titled, "DAJ GURUGUIˈ YUMIGUÌI ‘HOW THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD APPEARED': LEGEND IN CHICAHUAXTLA TRIQUI." Chicahuaxtla Triqui is an Otomanguean language spoken in San Andrés Chicahuaxtla and in other neighboring communities in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico. The oral text is a legend entitled Daj guruguiˈ yumiguìi [da2h ɡuɾuɡwi3ʔ ʃumigwiː13], 'How the people of the world appeared' and is a compilation or summary of several legends about Triqui deities and the creation of the human race as we know it today. In the article that accompanies this recording, I present a map of the Triqui region, a general description of the Chicahuaxtla Triqui language, its consonant and vowel inventories, tones, information about current and competing orthographic systems and a brief grammatical sketch. The article includes an orthographic representation of the legend and a free translation along with a broad and narrow transcription of the text using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
