Miship, or Chip, is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Plateau State, Nigeria. Doka is a dialect.[1] Blench lists the two dialects Longmaar and Jiɓaam.[2]

The Chip people are found in Pankshin LGA.[3]

People

The traditional occupation of Miship people is farming. The people call themselves as well as their abode, Miship while outsiders wrongly call them and also their abode, Chip.[citation needed]

Oral tradition states that they migrated from Kanem-Bornu to their present homeland with other tribes, Ngas, Mupun, and Mwaghavul.[4]

Most Miship names are unisex, so in order to differentiate a man from a woman, the contracted form is used i.e. the prefix Na is added to the root word of the woman's name and Da is added to the root word of the man's. For example, for a man and a woman both sharing:

  • Nanɗi, the man would be Danan, and the woman Nanan.
  • Ɗenlong, the man would be Daɗen, and the woman Naɗen.
  • Shakaham = Dasha/Nasha.

Words

  • God - Naan / Nan
  • Father - Nda
  • Child - La
  • Girl - Larep
  • Boy - La/La wu mis
  • Wash - Vwang
  • Person - Gurum

  • Children - Jep
  • Food - Sɨ/ Gwom/Gom/Mun
  • Rice - Kapa

  • Soup - Tok
  • Chicken - Koo
  • Dog - As
  • Goat - Ɨh
  • Meat - Lu
  • King - Long
  • Animal - Long/Lu
  • Wild animal - Lu ɗem

Lu can be used to refer to meat from animals. For example, 'chicken' would be Lu Koo. It can also be used to refer to animal. For example, 'Lu' in the following statement stands for animal: 'Mme a lu ɗe mme a gurum ma' = One (of the two) is not an animal while the other is human (direct translation).
