Flashcards: 625 Rotuman words (English glosses)
Rotuman (Fäeag Rotuạm, ISO 639-3 rtm), a Central Pacific Oceanic language of Rotuma, Fiji. Forms are given in the Churchward orthography that is standard in Rotuman schools, with the glottal stop written as a straight apostrophe and the PDF sources' ring-below glyph normalised back to Churchward's dot-below <ạ>. Because most Rotuman content words have two 'phases', entries show the complete (long) form and, where a source attests it, the incomplete (short) form after a slash - e.g. 'hosa / hoas' (flower). Items were taken from the English-Rotuman wordlist compiled by Alan Howard with Inia, Arntsen, Schmidt and Rensel from Churchward's 1940 dictionary (that PDF's text layer reads out only as far as the headword 'cry', so its contribution here is limited to English A-CR); the New Zealand Ministry for Pacific Peoples' 2022 Rotuman Language Week booklet; Marit and Jotama Vamarasi's free Rotuman Language Lessons; Hans Schmidt's metathesis paper; and the University of Hawai'i / rotuma.net language pages. A handful of items exist only in the Vamarasi lessons and are kept in her keyboard spelling (ã, â, å, ê, ô for Churchward's diacritics); these are marked in the gloss. This is a teaching selection built around greetings, kinship, numerals, the school day, ceremonial life and documented metathesis pairs - it is not a frequency list, and no form here was reconstructed or invented.
