Abstract

This study investigates the basic sentence patterns of Tausug (Bahasa Sug) and English, exploring their structural similarities and differences through a descriptive research design. The research involved 80 native Tausug speakers with advanced English proficiency from Jolo, Sulu, Philippines, and used Paul Roberts's (1956) seven basic sentence patterns as an analytical framework. The study addressed three primary research questions: (1) the contemporary significance of Tausug language studies, (2) the integration of Tausug jargon and idiomatic expressions in language standardization efforts, and (3) the syntactic variations between English and Tausug grammatical structures. Data were collected using an 82-item survey instrument examining Tausug jargon, idiomatic expressions, basic sentence patterns, and sociolinguistic factors such as Tausug's role as a regional lingua franca, its influence on neighboring ethnolinguistic groups, and its significance in governance and education. Statistical analysis employed descriptive methods and weighted means. The results revealed a significant language shift among younger Tausug speakers, leading to a decline in formal Tausug proficiency, despite its status as the lingua franca of the Sulu Archipelago. Although there are structural parallels between Tausug and English basic sentence patterns, notable syntactic variations were identified, particularly in word order and sentence structure. These findings suggest that while Tausug retains some structural similarities to English, the syntactic differences could impact second language acquisition, particularly for those learning English as a second language. Moreover, the decline in Tausug proficiency underscores the need for efforts to preserve and standardize the language, integrating its unique jargon and idiomatic expressions into educational and governance contexts to promote its continued use and development.

Abstract

his research explores the attitudes of Muslim Filipinos in Sulu in the context of how Islamic doctrine supports peace and nonviolence among them. This study addresses a gap in peace education for Min-danao with a specific emphasis on knowing the perceptions of local Islamic scholars and educators of peace-building practice. The meth-odology undertaken in the conduct of this research is a mixed-method approach involving both quantitative and qualitative ap-proaches. A survey questionnaire was administered to 331 students in Teacher Education. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 59 educators and scholars. Descriptive statistics and content analysis served the purposes of data analysis (Aming-Hayudini et al., 2024). The goal was to find recurring themes and patterns.Key findings reveal that 87% of respondents strongly agree that Islam promotes peace, with the Qur'an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad emphasizing the sanctity of human life, peaceful conflict resolution, and the avoidance of violence. Specifically, 92 percent of the teaching and academic faculty believe that a peaceful inner heart is a basic requirement for world peace, while 86 percent believe that, in Islam, peace is connected with justice, and 81 percent believe inter-faith dialogue and cooperation are imperative to promote different communities' mutual understanding. The study also identified the significant role of Islamic teachings on justice and the importance of Sharia (Islamic Jurisprudence) in ensuring a just society.The conclusion underscores that Islamic peace education, rooted in the principles of submission to Allah’s will, adherence to Qur’anic guidance, and promoting justice through Sharia, is vital for long-term peace-building in Sulu. Educators and scholars in the region play a critical role in moving forward with these values and supporting peace initiatives consistent with the principles of Islam. This re-search finds that the Islamic peace education approach should be in-cluded in both formal and informal learning systems in Mindanao, especially in Sulu, as a solution to the problems facing the region re-garding conflict and establishing a more peaceful society.
