Classification and grammar

Bauria is a Bhil language. The /s/ phoneme regularly becomes [kh], except before /i/ or /e/. /kh/ may weaken to [h].

The genetive posposition is or nan (feminine , oblique masculine ). The dative is nū̃, , nai, or nā̃. Nā̃ is borrowed from the surrounding Punjabi. The oblique suffix is often weakened to n, as in tihōn, 'to them'. The ablative suffix is thō, which agrees in gender and case with the governing noun. The locative and agentive suffixes are -ē.

The pronouns are as follows:

Locativemī̃tī̃, tēntīnē, tē̃hamē̃tamē̃tē, tēhē

The verb substantive is sō̃ 'I am' and uttō 'was'. uttō becomes - when used as an auxiliary to form the perfective. The present continuous uses sō̃ as an auxiliary. The past participle ends un -iō. The negative verb prefixes kō-.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Vietnamese cuisine</span> Culinary traditions of Vietnam

Vietnamese cuisine encompasses the foods and beverages originated from Vietnam. Meals feature a combination of five fundamental tastes : sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and spicy. The distinctive nature of each dish reflects one or more elements, which are also based around a five-pronged philosophy. Vietnamese recipes use ingredients like lemongrass, ginger, mint, Vietnamese mint, long coriander, Saigon cinnamon, bird's eye chili, lime, and Thai basil leaves. Traditional Vietnamese cooking has often been characterised as using fresh ingredients, not using much dairy or oil, having interesting textures, and making use of herbs and vegetables. The cuisine is also low in sugar and is almost always naturally gluten-free, as many of the dishes are rice-based instead of wheat-based, made with rice noodles, papers and flour.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nguyễn dynasty</span> Imperial dynasty in Vietnam, 1802–1945

The Nguyễn dynasty was the last Vietnamese dynasty, which was preceded by the Nguyễn lords and ruled the unified Vietnamese state independently from 1802 to 1883 before being a French protectorate. During the independence period, Nguyễn Vietnam was a great power in Southeast Asia, especially under Emperor Minh Mạng. During its existence, the empire directly expanded into modern-day Cambodia and Laos and ended the existence of Champa through a continuation of the centuries-long Nam tiến and the Siamese–Vietnamese wars. Vietnamese territory peaked in the history from 1834 to 1841. The empire also used to implement a strong assimilation policy against ethnic minority and suppress Christianity. Unlike their ancestors, the Nguyễn dynasty applied a closed country policy and harsh Confucianism until the French came. With the French conquest of Vietnam, the Nguyễn dynasty was forced to give up sovereignty over parts of Southern Vietnam to France in 1862 and 1874, and after 1883 the Nguyễn dynasty only nominally ruled the French protectorates of Annam as well as Tonkin. They later cancelled treaties with France and were the Empire of Vietnam for a short time until 25 August 1945.
