Hi, it is good that you are trying hard preserve your rich karen culture which I like so much. I have many karen friends who migrate from Myanmar in Singapore. They speaks more Burmese to their children instead of Karen language. Their children are now schooling in Singapore. As Singapore schools use English, obviously neither Burmese nor Karen language is taught. They took up Chinese language as a 2nd language. If the Karen language is not spoken, it will soon be forgotten by the young.
One good way to learn the karen language is from those who are newly relocated in your country. Look out for them. They usually struggle a lot in the new environment with language barrier and difficulty in getting job. Karen refugee camps in Thailand has schools to educate karen children. They are still proficient in the karen language.
I have heard very little about the Lahu tribe. We used to help a girl by sending her to school in Chiang Mai. She was actually from the Lahu tribe, but somehow she was abandoned when she was little and ended living in an Akha village. Unfortunately, she was led astray by her boy friend and ran away from school. The school had expelled her. We had no choice but to send her back to the Akha village. I don't know what happen to her now. According to tradition, I think she will probably be married.
Preservation of language and culture has to continue with the young. If they are not exposed from it at all, in time to come they will lose it. I say all this because I have witnessed and observed it. Not merely hear say. Of course, I am also aware that karen communities around the world do preserve and practise their culture and language and that is good.
Incidentally, I find that the karen in the refugee camps in Thailand have preserved the karen culture well. In one of my visit to a refugee camp, I witnessed the karen dance, which is very interesting.
I'm wondering where I can find the music to which the following lyrics might be set: "Y'wa is eternal, his life is long. One eon--he dies not! Two eons--he dies not! He is perfect in meritorious attributes. Eons follow eons--he dies not!"
I also noticed that some of the young karen people, who had lived outside their karen community for a long time, have forgotten much about the karen practices and culture. I believe it is true of those in Thailand, unless they still stay in the karen community. Inter-tribal and inter-ethnic marriages also post a risk with globalisation. Therefore, to preserve the karen culture, it require extra effort from the karen people.
Some Karen people came to my temple (a Cambodian temple). One of the guy knows Cambodian. Over the weekend we had a big celebration and they performed some dances. It was really interesting to see other cultures like Karen people who are kinda hidden like Hmong too. =)
the other reason that we apart from karen community is we are being a buddhist karen. most relatives from my mother side are baptists or catholics. my grandpa was a catholic karen and grandma was a buddhist karen both from irrawaddy delta region. My mom said grandpa passed away very early and they become buddhists though the two eldest daughters were christianize at first. later on they also pratice buddhism. I would love to learn karen language if i have a chance...
Thai Karen has adopted basically the Thai culture and learn to speak Thai. Similarly, the Karen in the current Myanmar cities are speaking more Burmese than Karen. If the karen are not careful in preserving their culture and language, they will lose them all in time to come, just like the young Chinese in Thailand and Indonesia. Can you translate lyric to English for me?
O my people...i love u with all my heart and soul.... My people are the true lost sheep of yisrael....still under the curse due28....we might no have country in this earth but mighty Y'wah promese us a place in his new kingdom....my people are remnant of Israel, the survivors of Jacob....might the mighty one of our ancestor be with u always.....
yeah it is pretty true that young generations karen outside of karen communities can't speak karen at all. I am a half-blood karen, My mom is a buddhist S'gaw keren but she can't speak karen, only my grandma spoke karen when she was alive. we used to listen karen words when my grandma was alive. but we had little interest in it.
Well, let me introduce about me ... Maybe I'm the youngest here... Well, I really don't know if I should tell you about this or not... I'm a Karen... I love my race... And one day, I'm gonna follow these steps of my fore grandpa... Well, according to all of your comments, I'm telling you that... Ya, I speak both thai, s'kaw-karen, burmese, and eng... And still, I'm trying to learn eveything I can as I'm still young... Well, I don't know much about these military of Karen people... But...
I understand the situation because I feel I'm in the same boatl. I don't speak my mother tongue well because our government had tried to suppressed to use of diaglect. Today, many of the young people were unable to speak their diaglect and as a result, we are losing some part of our culture and root. Language is a part of ethnic culture and root. If the language is lost, part of the culture is lost. It is important to preserve them. Karen language has nothing to do with religion.
I seem to get a slightly different story. I heard of fighting between the Akha and Lahu tribes in some areas of Laos. I guess, sometime it is instigated by some people trying to destroy the peace between the 2 tribes of people.
Sure... One day, I'm gonna live my life for my race... Well, I don't care if anyone would arrest me or not... Neither if my mom would kill me for speaking about this... Um... well... I'm gonna try my best for Karen People after my mom's passed away... Coz... my fore grandpa had started this... and if it isn't end until I'm ready to take his steps... I'm gonna do this... My Grandpa's Saw Ba U Gyi...
I am merely expressing my concern about preserving language and culture. I am not criticising, so don't see the reason of being so defensive. I know some 20 karen peoples living in my community. They moved from Myanmar to Singapore. They speaks karen language, but their 5 to 7 years old children don't and can't. In their everyday communication, they speaks Burmese if not English.
Where do you get your information from?I know apprx 250 karen people and they still SPEAK their language,KAREN,and practice their culture. Karen people have to trust you before you really get to know them.Maybe you should get your research by knowing who these people are.People adapt to their surroundings, but don't lose who they are.we have a lot to learn from these people.YOU HAVE NO IDEA!
i think we(karen) are trying the best we can man. do u think karens can speak karen openly in Myanmar cities. Also, they are trying their best to preserve their culture by fighting the Burmese military. You might wanna add that to ur considerations when u say if the karen arent careful, they will lost their culture.

It's been 9 years, you probably have gained more experience, knowledge in life and become wiser. Hope you are doing well.
I understand the situation because I feel I'm in the same boatl. I don't speak my mother tongue well because our government had tried to suppressed to use of diaglect. Today, many of the young people were unable to speak their diaglect and as a result, we are losing some part of our culture and root.
Language is a part of ethnic culture and root. If the language is lost, part of the culture is lost. It is important to preserve them. Karen language has nothing to do with religion.
Thats a sad story. Akha tribe and the lahu tribe have always have a good relation thorough out the history.
I kind of know some words here,but some.... Does it in Thai? I mean the song sia.
my name is karen :D
I seem to get a slightly different story. I heard of fighting between the Akha and Lahu tribes in some areas of Laos. I guess, sometime it is instigated by some people trying to destroy the peace between the 2 tribes of people.
