Synopsis
Excerpt from Appendix to the Dictionary of the Hausa Language (Published 1876): Hausa-English Part, With Additions of Hausa Literature
The author regrets that serious illness has prevented him from giving this Appendix all the attention he desii'ed; and that its publication has been delayed from the same cause. He is, however, much cheered by the fact that the study of the Hausa language is now not only encouraged, but is about to be made compulsory among the officers commanding the Hausa Corps at the Gold Coast and at Lagos.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a late 19th-century dictionary of the Hausa language, and one of the earliest to have been compiled. The author, who was a missionary, drew upon the work of previous authors, travelers, and missionaries who had come into contact with the Hausa peoples in the nineteenth century as his aim was to provide a resource for communication with the large Hausa population of British West Africa. The dictionary defines and provides examples of usage for thousands of Hausa words and phrases, encompassing a diverse range of concepts and topics. These entries offer valuable insights into the language itself, as well as the culture and beliefs of the Hausa people. The dictionary is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Hausa language, the history of linguistics in Africa, or the culture and traditions of the Hausa peoples. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333901073_0
