Until about ten years ago it was still possible to describe
Mursi as an entirely oral culture. In the late 1990s, however,
the missionary organisation SIM started an informal 'Mursi
pilot education project' which proved very effective in helping
a small group of Mursi, living at Makki in the Mago valley, to
read and write their own language.
Perhaps the most important result of
this project was the evident enthusiasm it generated for
literacy, not only amongst Mursi living at Makki but also
amongst those living elsewhere in Mursiland. The main reason
for the success of the project was undoubtedly that it used the
students' own language to introduce them to the practical uses
of the written word.
We hope that this first dictionary of
the Mursi language will help to satisfy the demand for literacy
amongst Mursi themselves, which the SIM project so effectively
demonstrated and stimulated. We offer it, first and foremost,
as a modest learning aid to the Mursi student, whether he or
she is enrolled in a formal school or informal education
centre, or working alone. But a dictionary is not just a
learning aid: it is also a permanent record, however
incomplete, of a particular language and culture. We also hope,
therefore, that the dictionary will help to preserve and keep
alive not only the Mursi language but also the accumulated
cultural knowledge and unique historical experience of the
Mursi.
The shortcomings of the dictionary
will be obvious to any Mursi reader. We apologise for these
shortcomings but cannot stress too strongly that we see this as
the beginning of a process, rather than as the end. The task we
set ourselves when we began proved much more daunting than we
had expected and the result falls far short of our original
aims. But if we had been more realistic, perhaps we would not
have begun at all. As it is, we hope that this first effort
will be followed by bigger and better editions in the years to
come.
With this in mind, we would greatly
welcome the advice of readers, on any aspect of the
dictionary's content and style. Please send us your comments
and suggestions, including words and phrases (particularly
up-to-date ones!) that should be added in the next edition.
