19, 2 Scheerer: Texts from Balbalésang-Gindéang 185 
mately a form that was pronounced correct, whereupon the 
translation into English was taken up, and one or the other 
point of grammar discussed. 
The stories thus recorded were: 
IN THE DIALECT OF BALBALASANG 
1. Sacha phyaniig kan aphit; The eagle and the child; from the town 
of Balbalasang (Phyaiphyaydsang). 
2. Sacha Changatag kan cha kaag; Changatag and the monkeys; from 
the rancheria of Phulayadyau. 
8. Sachat Iphuadyan nangdyau ud Pattékyan; Those from Buaya go

of Ka-wong. ‘ 
IN THE DIALECT OF GINAANG 
6. Ug-tikid chat man-aman nagchayén; The story of the father and 
child buried by a landslide; from the town of Gindang. 
To these texts is added: 
IN THE DIALECT OF THE TINGGIAN (ITNEG) OF ABRA AS SPOKEN IN THE TOWN 
OF PENARUBIA 
7. Mepanggep ta Itneg di Abra; About the Itneg of Abra. 
The last account, which was obtained from a young Tinggian 
student of the farm school already mentioned and is to my 
knowledge the first text ever published from that language, may 
afford students an opportunity to compare the Tinggian with 
the Balbalasang-Gindang dialects which latter are said to have 
been influenced by their western neighbors. 
As regards the translation of the texts I should say that the 
liberties which I have occasionally taken with the English lan- 
guage are to be explained by the desire to reflect, as much as it 
can at all be done, the peculiarities of Kalingga diction. 
A list of the personal and possessive pronouns in all dialects 
here recorded is added at the end.
