Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book collates a collection of vocabularies, notes, and stories transcribed from languages used by various ethnic groups in Sierra Leone during the author's tour in the early 20th century. It includes Timne, Bulom, Krim, Kisi, Susu, Koranko, Yalunka, Kgno, Vai, Mendi, Loko, Gola, Fula, Kisi, Gola, Dowoi, Basa, and Pwese. These vocabularies were collected by the author, with some assistance from interpreters. While the inclusion of the personal pronouns in these vocabularies is not exhaustive, they do contain many words not included in Koelle's dictionary. The author also recorded some Vai words that Koelle omitted. This book will be of great interest to linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the languages of the Sierra Leone region. It offers a glimpse into the diverse and rich linguistic landscape of Sierra Leone during a particular period in time. The insights contained in this book provide an important record of the languages and traditions of the region.
