ISINAY Me and the WORLD of Isinays

I AM A kalangakang-aged and Baguio-based nature-lover/forester/writer&editor who has recently found joy and excitement in using Isinay words whenever and wherever I could in my cellphone texts, Facebook posts, emails, essays, conversations, and even soliloquies. 

Though not formally trained for the job, I have also taken on a mission to take a leadership role in the production of possibly the first dictionary of the Isinay language -- with only my love for my hometown, my little knowledge on research and publications, and my social skills at knocking on the doors of friends, relatives, significant authorities, and fellow Isinays as wings beneath my wings, so to speak.

It may not go fully viral in my time, but putting into motion little acts of using Isinay in social networks and in oral and written communication would, I believe, one way or another help generate interest in sustaining the health (for at least a century or even more) of the beautiful Isinay language of the towns of Aritao, Bambang, and Dupax del Sur, in the southern part of the Province of Nueva Vizcaya, Northern Luzon, the Philippines.

This blogsite -- probably the only one fully dedicated to the world (including the language, the land, and what remains of the culture of the Isinays) -- is a spin-off of that dream. I-ilang na otya ta bendisionan di Apu Tauwar Manarawum tiyen Isinay World ta uria nan tun-uran di aptiyoar lojom pelaovos an peyar di naun-unar darin Isinay-Bird on Isinay Tumblr ot mannannar si deen taw-on.

Man-oj lojom tiyen suung si internet. Bayaw ot amplamu atdi ya marawum dioy rat ira^da na on how we could inspire other Isinays and other Isinay language advocates to also heed Dylan Thomas' line:  "Do not go gently into that good night... rage, rage against the dying of the light!"

To paraphrase that as a way to ventilate the case for Isinay:

"Urian tau otyan i-avoloy an malaviyan on mirumo^ ri in-a-Isinay on ba^ba^ tauwar an Isinay... tuma^doj on lumavan tau ta marin masambut si sorom ri apuy tauwar!"
