The generalized Mandelstam-Halpern soliton operators are constructed and the fermion-boson mapping is established through a set of generalized bosonization rules in a quotient positive definite Hilbert space of states. Each fermion species is mapped to its corresponding soliton in the spirit of particle/soliton duality of Abelian bosonization. The examples of $su(3)$ and $su(4)$ are presented.4 pages, LaTex.
