Dictionary and conversation guide in French and Udmurt languages
Pictures of the official presentation in Udmurtia and in France
On
June, 8th 2007 the first book in Udmurt and French languages was released in
Tartu (Estonia) – “Guide de Conversation Français-Oudmourte – Удмурт-Француз
кылбугор” (French-Udmurt Conversation Guide). The initiator of the project is
the Association “TANGYRA”, that
launched the project
in 2006. The project was supported by
the Program of kindred nations (Hõimurahvuste programm, Estonia) and „Oshmes”
organization of the Udmurts from Estonia. The main aim of the book is to foster
friendship between Udmurt and French speaking people.
This book aims
at enabling both Udmurt-speaking and French speaking people to communicate
between them.
The book is destined as well to French speaking people as to Udmurt speaking
people, so information are given about the two languages and cultures.
The book contains a short description of the Udmurt and French people, alphabets
and phonetics, the conversation guide itself with sentences for daily life, an
elementary grammar of Udmurt and French languages and a short French-Udmurt and
Udmurt-French dictionary
in order to
give the possibility to the reader to adapt and widen the content of the book as
he wishes.
In the beginning of every chapter there are cultural remarks about the following
subject.
The French-Udmurt Conversation Guide is not an ordinary one. There are not many
tourists in Udmurtia, nor many Udmurts go often to France, but in the modern
world it is easier to get friends from faraway. Therefore you will not find in
the book themes like “in the hotel”, “in the post office”, but you will find
chapters like “Friendship and love”, “In the conference, festival”.
The team who created the book is international and consists in professionals and
beginners: Udmurt language part was realized by Svetlana Edygarova, postgraduate
student of the Tartu University, French language by Benoit Mantel, the president
of the Association “TANGYRA”, the expert for French language is Eva Toulouze,
doctor of philological sciences, the expert for Udmurt language is Vadim Danilov,
postgraduate student of the Tartu University, graphics and design – Charlotte
Giaquinta.
The team of the book believes that the French-Udmurt Conversation Guide will
help many people to make discoveries and to find more friends.
