Présentation de l'éditeur
Zambesi Basin below the Victoria Falls and on theB atoka Plateau. This book is an attempt to help Europeans in this district, Officials, Missionaries, and others who must use the language. No pretence is made to an absolutely exhaustive treatment. But the varied forms of speech are gathered together, and much valuable information given which has been secured through long contact with the natives, and which cannot be obtained in any other single book. In order that space may be saved, neither exercises nor vocabulary are given. Literature has already been produced which can be used to illustrate these grammatical forms, and our Tonga Reader could be read with advantage by all students ofT onga. Explanations are as briefly given as possible. The matter is arranged under the several parts of speech. In some cases sections might easily have been reserved for later studies, but generally it seemed most convenient to group all relevant matter under the sectional heading, leaving it for the student to pass over the advanced parts and intricacies until the whole has come under general survey. We would suggest to the learner that every Tonga word be read aloud, and pronunciation and accentuation corrected by close association with natives. The grammar can well be read consecutively. First look at the whole, then get a thorough knowledge of vital parts, and later fill in the more difficult details. The system of phonetics should be carefully noted. The section on language characteristics could be read, but will not be fully appreciated until some proficiency has been? gained.
