Talk:Miskito/Discussion

Tinki nani for this course... It is pretty awesome! I am a language teacher myself, and am more than pleased with the quality and user-friendliness of the book. I am learning the Miskitu language basically on my own because my husband is Miskitu and I wanted to surprise him and his family (which I did, by the way). However, some audio for pronunciation and intonation is necessary... Are any such resources available?

First I would like to say tinki tara for making this website. I am also a Miskitu student living in Nicaragua. I noticed a few errors in your website. First of all. The word "tiara" refers to young females, for males it is "wahma". Also you can not say "Jan utla ra sa". When the word is possesive you have to change the word completely most of the time. In this case if it is first person possesive it changes to "waitla", second person "wamtla", third person "watla". So in this case it would be "Jan watla ra sa." But if you wanted to say houses in general then you would say "Utla nani ba".

Thank You!
I just returned from two weeks in Nicaragua where I was helping with the rebuilding of the Miskito village of Betania. I was very surprised to see a language course online in Miskito. The little bit I learned helped with the communication barrier and I made some Miskito friends for life! Thanks again. Teri H.
