Sandawe or Sandawi is a tonal language spoken by about 40,000 Sandawe people in the Dodoma region of Tanzania. Language use
is vigorous among both adults and children, with people in some areas monolingual. Sandawe had generally been classified as
a member of the defunct Khoisan family since Albert Drexel in the 1920s, due to the presence of clicks in the language. Recent
investigations (Güldemann forthcoming) suggest that Sandawe may be related to the Khoe family regardless of the validity of
Khoesan as a whole. A discussion of Sandawe's linguistic classification can be found in Sands (1998). Sandawe has two dialects,
northwest and southeast. Differences include speaking speed, vowel dropping, some word taboo, and minor lexical and grammatical
differences. Some Alagwa have shifted to Sandawe, and are considered a Sandawe clan. SIL International began work on Sandawe
in 1996 and to date (2004), Daniel and Elisabeth Hunziker and Helen Eaton continue to work on the analysis of the language.
They have so far produced a phonological description, a dialect survey report and several papers on aspects of grammar. Sandawe
is also currently (since 2002) studied by Sander Steeman of Leiden University. |
