Ntchito yomasulira pakati pa zilankhulo za mu Africa ikupitiriza kukhala njira yofunika kwambiri yolimbikitsira mgwirizano wamaphunzo, zamalonda, komanso chikhalidwe cha anthu padziko lonse lapansi. Kutanthauzira kuchokera mu Chichewa (chinenero chomwe chimalankhulidwa ndi anthu mamiliyoni ambiri ku Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, ndi Zimbabwe) kupita mu Chiyoruba (chinenero chodziwika bwino komanso cholankhulidwa kwambiri ku Nigeria, Benin, Togo, ndi madera ena a West Africa) kumabweretsa zovuta ndi zochititsa chidwi zambiri. Ngakhale kuti zilankhulo zonsezi zili mu banja limodzi lalikulu la zilankhulo za ku Africa la Niger-Congo, njira zomwe zilankhulozi zimapangidwira komanso kagwiritsidwe ntchito kake zili ndi kusiyana kwakukulu komwe wotanthauzira aliyense ayenera kukumvetsetsa.
Chiyambi cha Zilankhulo za ku Africa ndi Mgwirizano Wamasiku Ano
M'zaka zaposachedwapa, pakhala kuwonjezeka kwakukulu kwa zolembera ndi kufalitsidwa kwa mabuku, zolemba zapa intaneti, ndi mauthenga a digito m'zilankhulo za mbadwa za ku Africa. Mgwirizanowu ukufuna kuti anthu azitha kumasulira zolemba mosavuta. Kutanthauzira pakati pa Chichewa (chinenero cha ku Southern Africa) ndi Chiyoruba (chinenero cha ku West Africa) ndi chimodzi mwa zinthu zomwe zikuthandiza kuti anthu ochokera kumadera osiyanasiyanawa athe kugawana nzeru, zikhulupiriro, ndi luso lazamalonda. Katswiri aliyense yemwe akufuna kumasulira zilankhulozi ayenera kukumbukira kuti cholinga cha kumasulira sikungosintha mawu chabe, koma kusamutsa tanthauzo ndi mzimu wa uthengawo kupita mwa eni chinenerocho mwachilengedwe.
Kusanthula Galamala ndi Kapangidwe ka Ziganizo
Kuti wotanthauzira athe kumasulira uthenga moyenerera, ayenera kudziwa kusiyana kwa momwe zilankhulozi zimapangidwira. Chichewa ndi Chiyoruba zili ndi galamala yosiyana kwambiri ngakhale zonse zili ndi dongosolo la Ziganizo la Subject-Verb-Object (SVO).
Magulu a Maina (Noun Classes) mu Chichewa
Chichewa ndi chinenero cha Bantu chomwe chimadalira kwambiri magulu a maina (noun classes). Magulu a maina a mu Chichewa (kuyambira mu gulu la 1 mpaka gulu la 18) ndiwo amalamula mgwirizano wa ziganizo zonse. Mawu ena onse monga masewera, malongosoledwe, komanso zochitika ayenera kukhala ndi zilumikizi (prefixes) zofanana ndi dzina lomwe likutchulidwa. Mwachitsanzo, mu Chichewa timati: "Chinthu chanu chabwino chitasoweka..." (pali mgwirizano wa ch-). Izi zimapangitsa kuti Chichewa chikhale chinenero chomata mawu pamodzi (agglutinative language).
Kapangidwe ka Mawu mu Chiyoruba
Kumbali ina, Chiyoruba chilibe dongosolo lalikulu la magulu a maina monga momwe zilili mu Chichewa kapena zilankhulo zina za Bantu. Chiyoruba ndi chinenero chodzipatula (isolating language), komwe mawu amakhalabe m'nthambi zawo popanda kusintha zizindikiro zakutsogolo kapena zakumbuyo. Mgwirizano wamagalamala mu Chiyoruba sumadalira zilumikizi za maina, koma umadalira dongosolo la mawu m'chiganizo komanso kagwiritsidwe ntchito ka tinthu ting'onoting'ono (auxiliary particles) posonyeza nthawi komanso kachitidwe ka zinthu. Katswiri womasulira ayenera kupewa kufunafuna mgwirizano wa galamala wofanana ndi wa Chichewa pamene akumasulira kupita mu Chiyoruba.
Mfundo Yofunika: Mu Chichewa, umodzi ndi unyinji umadziwika ndi kusintha kwa chiyambi cha dzina (monga: munthu -> anthu). Koma mu Chiyoruba, unyinji umasonyezedwa ndikuwonjezera mawu akuti "awọn" patsogolo pa dzinalo (monga: ènìyàn -> awọn ènìyàn).
Vuto la Matoni ndi Zizindikiro mu Chiyoruba
Chimodzi mwa zinthu zovuta kwambiri zomwe omasulira ochokera ku Chichewa amakumana nazo ndi nkhani ya mamvekedwe a mawu kapena matoni (tonal orthography) mu Chiyoruba. Chiyoruba ndi chinenero chomwe chimagwiritsa ntchito matoni atatu akuluakulu posiyanitsa tanthauzo la mawu omwe angathe kulembedwa mofanana. Matoni amenewa ndi:
- Toni ya Pansi (Low Tone): Imatchedwa "Àmì Rè" ndipo imasonyezedwa ndi chizindikiro chopendekera kumanzere (à).
- Toni ya Pakati (Mid Tone): Imatchedwa "Àmì Àrín" ndipo nthawi zambiri siisonyezedwa ndi chizindikiro chilichonse (a).
- Toni ya M'mwamba (High Tone): Imatchedwa "Àmì Okè" ndipo imasonyezedwa ndi chizindikiro chopendekera kumanja (á).
Kusakhalapo kapena kuyikidwa molakwika kwa zizindikirozi kumatha kusintha tanthauzo la chiganizo chonse. Mwachitsanzo, mawu akuti "oko" amatha kukhala ndi matanthauzo osiyanasiyana malingana ndi matoni ake:
- oko (toni ya pakati-pakati) - Mwamuna / Bwenzi lachimuna.
- ọkọ (toni ya pakati-pakati ndi matchulidwe ena) - Bwato kapena galimoto.
- ọkọ́ (toni ya pakati-m'mwamba) - Khasu.
- òkò (toni ya pansi-pansi) - Mwala.
Chifukwa Chichewa chilibe zizindikiro za matoni pamene chikulembedwa, wotanthauzira ayenera kukhala ndi chidziwitso chozama cha Chiyoruba kuti athe kusankha zizindikiro zoyenera pamene akumasulira. Kukanika kuchita izi kungapangitse kuti uthenga wanu ukhale wosamveka kapena wopatsa manyazi.
Chikhalidwe, Miyambi, ndi Ulemu mu Ntchito Yomasulira
Kutanthauzira zilankhulozi kumaphatikizaponso kusamutsa miyambo ndi makhalidwe a anthu olankhula zilankhulozi. Dziko la Malawi ndi dziko la Nigeria ali ndi zinthu zambiri zofanana pankhani ya chikhalidwe cha ulemu, koma njira zosonyezera ulemwo ndizosiyana.
Dongosolo la Ulemu (Honorific Systems)
Mu Chichewa, timagwiritsa ntchito mawu akuti "Inu" kapena mawu otsegulira monga "A-" polankhula ndi anthu akuluakulu kapena omwe tikuwalemekeza (monga "Aphunziri Alemekezeka"). Mu Chiyoruba, dongosololi ndilofunika kwambiri ndipo limatchedwa "Ìbọ̀wọ̀". Amagwiritsa ntchito matchulidwe (pronowns) monga "ẹ" (inu) komanso "wọn" (iwo) polankhula ndi munthu wamkulu kapena wachilendo, ngakhale kuli kulankhula ndi munthu mmodzi yekha. Ngati wotanthauzira atanthauzira mwachisawawa popanda kusunga ulemuwu, uthengawo udzaoneka ngati wamwano m'maso mwa owerenga achiyoruba.
Kumasulira Miyambi ndi Zafanizo
Miyambi (proverbs) ndiyo khomo la nzeru mu zilankhulo zonsezi. Kumasulira mwambi mawu ndi mawu (literal translation) kuchokera mu Chichewa kupita mu Chiyoruba ndi kulakwitsa kwakukulu. Mwachitsanzo, mwambi wa Chichewa wakuti: "Mtsinje wamng'ono umadzaza ndi madzi aakulu" (kutanthauza kuti zinthu zazing'ono zimakula chifukwa cha thandizo la zinthu zazikulu) sungamasulidwe mawu ndi mawu. M'malo mwake, wotanthauzira ayenera kupeza mwambi wa Chiyoruba womwe uli ndi tanthauzo lomwelo, monga woti "Kò sí bí a ṣe le kéré tó, a kò le sọ pé a kò ní baba" kapena miyambi ina yofananira.
Malangizo Othandiza kwa Omasulira
Kuti muthe kuchita ntchito yabwino komanso yothandiza pakutanthauzira, tsatirani malangizo awa:
- Dziwani Cholinga ndi Owerenga: Nthawi zonse fufuzani omwe adzaŵerenge uthengawo. Kutchula mawu kuyenera kusintha malingana ndi ngati mukulembera achinyamata kapena akuluakulu amene amafuna Chiyoruba cholemekezeka komanso chozama.
- Pangani Mndandanda wa Mawu (Glossary): Musanayambe ntchito, pangani glossary ya mawu omwe amapezeka pafupipafupi mu Chichewa ndi equivalents awo mu Chiyoruba kuti pakhale kusinthasintha kosavuta komanso kosasinthasintha pamene mukulemba.
- Sungeni Kamvekedwe (Tone) ka Uthenga: Ngati uthenga woyambirira uli waubwenzi kapena wamwambo, onetsetsani kuti Chiyoruba chomwe mwachigwiritsa ntchito chikusungabe kamvekedwe kameneko popanda kusokoneza cholinga cha mlembi woyambirira.
- Gwiritsani Ntchito Zizindikiro Zoyenera za Matoni: Izi ndizo zimasiyanitsa katswiri weniweni ndi munthu wamba. Onetsetsani kuti mwalemba zizindikiro zonse za matoni pamawu achiyoruba moyenera.
- Kufunsira ndi Kuwunikanso: Ntchito yanu ikatha, iperekeni kwa katswiri wa Chiyoruba kuti ayiwerenge ndikuwonetsetsa kuti ziganizo zake zikuyenda bwino komanso zikumveka mwachilengedwe m'makutu mwa eni chinenerocho.
Mapeto: Kukulitsa Luso la Kumasulira
Kutanthauzira chinenero cha Chichewa kupita mu Chiyoruba ndi gawo lamphamvu lomwe limafuna chidwi, nzeru, komanso luso lozama. Katswiri aliyense yemwe akuchita izi sayenera kungodalira madikishonare chabe, koma ayenera kukhala wophunzira wakhama yemwe akumvetsetsa chikhalidwe, miyambo, ndi moyo wa anthu olankhula zilankhulozi. Kutsatira njira ndi malangizo omwe afotokozedwa mu bukuli kudzakuthandizani kupereka ntchito yomasulira yomveka bwino, yodalirika, komanso yothandiza kwambiri popereka uthenga wofunika kwambiri kwa owerenga anu.
