Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

The Shilluk country is situated in the A ngloE gyptian Sudan; it extends along the west bank of theW hite Nile from Kaka in the north to Lake No in the south; besides this there are severalS hilluk villages along the banks of the lowerS obat, chiefly on the northern side. This little book is an epitome of my researches in theS hilluk language made during a stay in theS hilluk country and inK hartoum from August 1910 to the end ofO ctober 1910. It is based on a larger collection of folklore, which will be edited within a few months, together with a grammar and dictionary. The present grammar is intended solely as a practical guide to theS hilluk language, and for this reason I have tried to adapt it to the needs of theE uropeans and Americans living among this people. The main difficulties in acquiring a knowledge of the language are pronunciation and intonation; it is of the greatest importance that the student should pay careful attention to these two points, as otherwise misunderstandings are unavoidable. I have therefore thought it necessary, to represent the sounds and the intonation as carefully and exactly as possible.
