1I have been fortunate to have the opportunity of going back regularly to Tudun Wada, at least once every two years. I have devoted most of my time to exploring the different dialects of Zaar and the relationship of Zaar to the other South Bauchi Chadic languages. I have gathered material on Sigidi (Guus), Dott (Zo•i), Langas (Nyamzax), Zaranda, Luri, etc. I have published one article on Guus and am preparing some on Zo•i and Nyamzax.
2Last summer, more religious trouble took place in Tafawa Balewa, unnoticed by the rest of Nigeria. The tension was still palpable when I was there in January this year.
3I have gathered a good quantity of texts in Zaar, thanks to the help of Gaba Sama’ila, son to the Sarki of Tudun Wada. He has become a master in writing his language (including tones) and has helped me transcribe interviews, dialogues and songs. His very consistent marking of tone has confirmed my hypotheses concerning the existence of a falling modulation on open syllables with short vowels. This has led me to revise some of the analyses I gave in the original text. The mistakes I identified have been corrected in this translation.
