Intratribe Variation in Language Among Obo-Manobo: An Ethnolinguistic Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Obo-Manobo, one of the tribes in Mindanao Philippines, inhabiting some municipalities in the Province of North Cotabato, has ethnic or indigenous language which is not sufficiently analyzed and documented. To account varieties in language and to come up with the glossary of terms, the researcher used the Metalinguistic knowledge from the interviews, focus group discussions, observations and translation of the Swadesh Word List and from the lexical databases such as the word lists of Obo-Manobo accounted by the SIL. The study revealed distinct variations in the Obo-Manobo language from the culture bearers of Kidapawan City, Magpet and President Roxas in the Province of North Cotabato. Obo-Manobo has lexical varieties in the way they name and describe things, person, places, events and concepts (noun and adjectives); use the main verb, prepositions and conjunctions. These are all accounted in the glossary of terms – the output of this study.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
