Ngi im ha ka juk ka jingkylla; bad lada ym don jingkylla, ym don ruh ka jingkiew shaphrang jong kano kano ka jaitbynriew. Kane ka jingkylla ka la ju don naduh mynno mynno bad kan iai don ruh shaduh lano lano katba ka jaitbynriew Khasi ka dang don ha ka pyrthei.
Ka jingai jait Phareng hapdeng ki Khasi ka la ju don naduh ka jingwan ka THoh ka Tar, kaba la wallam da u Sahep Thomas Jones uba la wan poi ha Sohra ha ka 22 tarik, u June 1841. Ha ka History jong ka Balang ngi shem ba: “Ha ka snem 1852, la pynbaptis ia iwei i khunlung – ka Salome, iba nyngkong napdeng ki khynnah rit ba la pynbaptis, bad la pdiang balang bad pynbaptis ia lai ngut kiba la san. Arngut na ki, u Monsin bad u Sor, ki la kyrpad ban kylla kyrteng, namar, ki ong, “Ngi la ioh ia kine ki kyrteng ha ka jingiasyllok bad ki ksuid, bad ngi kwah ban deng da ki kyrteng Khristan.” Kumta la jer kyrteng ia ki u Solomon bad u Stephan, kiwei kiwei ki la bud rukom, kum ka dak ba ki la iehnoh thiaw ia ka jinglong rim.

Shuwa ka jingwan ki Phareng ruh, ka jingkylla jait ka la don hapdeng ki Khasi: kumta ngi tip ba ka jait Rapthap ka mih na ka jait Lyngdoh, ki Nonglyer ki kylla na ki Mawkhiew bad bun bah kiwei kiwei. Ngi tip ruh, “… ki jait Shabong bad Masar baroh ar ki dei ki jait Mukhim, ki la khot bakla kumta ia ki tang sha sohshnong. Kumjuh ki Nonglwai ruh ki dei ki jait Jyrwa. Jait Biram pat, ki ong ia ki Jyrwa na ka kyrteng u kpa, u Biram. Sa Shikylla pat ia ka jait Nongsiej, kaba shaphang Sohiong, ki ong Jyrwa Nongsiej.”
Ka jingai jait phareng ha ki Khasi, kum shym la long tang ha ki por ba dang shu poi ki phareng; hynrei ngi shem hadien bad mynta ruh ia ki Khasi kiba long ki khlur ka ri kiba la shim ia ka jait pareng.
“Ha ka jingkhlad noh u kpa ka Hen (u Babu Ngorsing),… ula long u tymmen basan uba nyngkong ba la pynkyrpang da ka Presbytery ha ri Khasi… Nalor ka jingshakri jong u hi, ula ai ha ka Balang ha ri Khasi ia ki khun, kiba ki kyrteng jong ki, ki long kiba donburom shibun: arngut kiba la long ki doctor, nangta i Mr Eleasar Pugh iba la long u ebanjelis bad headmaster ka ME School, Laitkynsew, Mr Granville Pugh, BA, BD, Rev Bransley Pugh, BA, BD, BSc, Mr Frank Pugh, MA iba la long u headmaster ka ME School ha Shangpung katto katne snem bad i Kong Beatrice Pugh, BA.
Katkum ka kot, ki Dienjat Ha u Shyiap lynnong 10 bad 11, u Rev JJM Nichols Roy bad u Prof Rowland Roy Thomas ki iadei shipara trai, ki khun jong u Khah Than bad ka Shitmai Syiemlieh na Shella.

Kumjuh ruh u para jong u, mynba u dang khynnah u dei u Rajen roy, ynda ula samla ula shim da ka kyrteng, u Rowland Roy Thomas.
“Ki kynrei ki nuksa ba ngi lah ban pyni ba u khun Khasi Pnar u ieng tyrpeng la tyrpeng bad kiwei kiwei ki jait briew ym tang ha ri India hynrei shabar ruh. Kum u Prof RR Thomas, MA uwei pat uba la pass bha na kane ka skul (Government High School), bad ha Calcutta ula long nyngkong na ka Honours list jong ka University ha ka Philosophy bad hadien ula long uba ar ha kaba ula ioh First Class Honours ha ka kyrdan MA. Kham phylla shuh tang marwei hi ha ka ri Assam ula ioh ia ka Prem Chand Roy Scholarship. Kane ka long ka khusnam kaba khliehduh kaba ka University ka lah ban ai… u hynmen jong u u Rev JJM Nichols Roy u la long uba nyngkong napdeng ki Khasi ban long u dkhot ka Dorbar Thaw Ain bad arsien ula long Minister.
Kam shym long tang ka jingshim da ka jait Phareng lane ki kylla na kawei ka jait sha kawei pat, hynrei don ruh ki Khasi ki bym ju pynpaw ia la ka jait. Ngin shim tang ar tylli ki nuksa kiba ki kyrteng jong ki, ngi tip paidbah bha bad kita ki long, u Nissor Singh bad u Fr H Elias SDB, ki riewkhraw ka Thoh ka Tar.
Namar ba la kdew ha katei ka khubor ia ka jait Chyne (kynnoh Khain), te mynta ngin iapeit kumno ka jingspel dak ia kane ka jait ka wan.
Shuwa ban ong ei ei shaphang kane, la sngewdei ban iatai ia ka rukom treikam u digraph Ch. Ha kiba bun ki kyntien u Ch u treikam kum u (tsh): Church, Chair, Chance bad bun kiwei kiwei, kumba ngi kynnoh ia ka kyntien Shu haba ngi pynshlur ia u ksew ban beh, ne kynrup: “dew, dew…. chu, chu…!” don pat ba u Ch u kylla kum: Character, Chemical, Chemistry, Christmas. Kham niar ban shem ba u Ch u treikam kum u Kh.
Hynrei haba phai pat sha kip or mynta ka thoh ka pule Khasi ka dang thylleng bad dang lung, ngi shem ba u Thomas Jones u pyndonkam bha ia u C ha ka jaka u K bad ngi shem ba ia u K la pyndonkam ha kaba shandien ia ka kyntien. Kane harum ka long ka nuksa:
“Ci lok jong Ci la leit noh
Shatei byllien Mynshuwa,
Ha tem ba Ca Ci la ju iaid;
Lem bad nga sha Salem Chooid.
Ha Ca tem badum ba Cynsha
Ca jingngeit la shim ia ci;
Ca jingcoolar ia nga ruh don;
Balei ba ngan sheptieng ruh.”
Na kitei ki ar tylli ki dkhot haneng, ngi iohi ba u Ch ha ka ktien Khasi ha kata ka por, u long kum u Kh mynta.
Mynta ngin iaphai noh sha ka kyntien “Chyne”. Hangne u Ch u long kum u Kh mynta, bad u y pat u ieng na ka bynta ka diphthong ai; bad namar ba ha kata ka por ym pat don n, te u ne u ieng noh ia ka kynnoh n: namar haba ngi pynlong ktien Khasi ia ka ktien line, ngi spel lain, ia ka shine ngi kynnoh shain, kumta lada ngi spel Chyne ka jingkynnoh ka long Khain. Kane ka pyni ba ka jait Chyne ka la paw kyrteng ha ki kot naduh mynta u C u treikam kum u K, bad hadien ynda la pli noh da u K ha ka jaka u C; ka jingspel dak ia ka jait Chyne ka neh hi kumjuh khlem da pynkylla sha ka Khain kumba pynneh ka Gauhati University bad ka Gauhati High Court ki bym shym la pynbud ia ka jingkylla ka nongbah Guahati sha ka Guwahati.
Sa kawei pat, ka kyrteng jong ka jait ka dei ka Proper Noun, te ka shong ha ki trai jong kata ka jait kumno ban spel dak iala ka jait. Kumta ngi shem bun bah ki jait Khasi kiba ki trai jait ki spel pareng kum Pyngrope, Gapthoh, Laloo, Rodborne, Cajee bad kumta ter ter. Sngewdei ruh ban ai jingmut ia ki nongthoh kiba lum ia ki jait ki khong hapoh ka ri, ba kin spel dak ia ka jait katkum ka jingspel ki trai jait.
Kane ka jingle jingkam hapdeng ki Khasi kumba la ong shakhmat kam shym la long khyllah tang ha ngi ki Khasi; hynrei ka long kumjuh hi ha kiwei kiwei ki jaitbynriew ha kylleng ka pyrthei.
Namarkata, kumba la dep iatai shakhmat, kane ka jingkylla (la ka long ka spell dak phareng ia ka jait, ka jingshim ia ka jait phareng, ka jingkylla jait, ka shim jait kmie lane ka shim jait kpa ruh) kan ym wanrah ia ka jingbakla ha ka khein kur khein jait u Khasi; namar ba na kawei ka jait la ju mih bun tylli kiwei pat ki jait. Bad ruh ka longjait ka sdang na ki saw tylli ki thymmei: na ka kyrteng jong ka kmie ne u kpa ba nyngkong, na ka kyrteng ka kam ba ki briew ki trei, na ka kyrteng jong ka shnong ba ki wan, bad ruh na kano ma kano ka daw ki shah sien da kiwei pat.
Kumta lada uno uno u spel dak phareng ia la ka jait, u shim jait phareng, u shim jait kmie, u shim jait kpa lane u khlem shim jait ruh; hynrei haba ka dur bad ka main jong u ka long Khasi, te u dei hi u Khasi bad ka KHADC kam donkam ban khuslai ei ei shaphang kane, namar kane ka dei ka jinglong bad ka jingtrei jong ka Sociology.
