| Abstract: | Abstract Studies on Sɩsaalɩ dialects have received very little attention, if any in the literature. Although many people are aware that there are dialects in the language, no definite idea about the number of dialects and the dialect continuum has been professed in previous studies on the language. This paper investigates aspects of Sɩsaalɩ dialectology. It discusses the linguistic features that are shared by these dialects and those that are divergent. Like most other Mabia languages (Bodomo 2020), though people are aware there are dialects or varieties of the languages there has not been any systematic attempt to study the linguistic difference. This paper seeks to identify the seven dialects of the language as Bosillu, Bʋwaalɩ, Gelbaglɩ, Gbieni, Kpatolie, Pasaalɩ and Tumuluŋ. It is evident in the study that there is mutual intelligibility among the dialects based on how close or how far the dialects are from each other. Thus. Speakers of Bʋwaalɩ and Gbieni are closer to each other, interact more and inter marry more, therefore, their understanding of each other’s dialect is more than the remote dialects. The same is the case for Bʋwaalɩ and Gbieni, Gbieni and Tumuluŋ. But not between speakers from Bosillu and Tumuluŋ who are far apart, reduces considerably up to Pasaalɩ dialect to the extreme end. One significant motivation for this study is to present the data for the understanding of Sɩsaalɩ linguistic boundary. This research has therefore, been a comprehensive study of Sɩsaalɩ based on fieldwork. Dixon’s (1997)’s Basic Linguistic Theory was used including seminars for debriefings and a West African Linguistic Conference (WALC) in 2019 in la Côte d’Ivoire. Primary and secondary data were the main sources of data. Based on the study Tumulung, Sɩsaala and Pasaalɩ as languages rather than dialects of Sɩsaalɩ is not valid. The cognates for the study do not support the claims of Moran (2006, 2009) and Ethnologue base on linguistic similarities and mutual intelligibility. This assumption of the researcher is based on the mutual intelligibility parameter. Though the author agrees that there are variations, there is a considerable degree of mutual intelligibility among these dialects. Key words: Sɩsaalɩ, Sɩsaala, dialects, Mabia, dialectology. |
