Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the Tidong language, a rare dialect spoken by the Tidong people who live in the coastal regions of Borneo. The author, an experienced colonial officer with extensive knowledge of the region, provides a detailed analysis of Tidong grammar, including its alphabet, pronunciation, parts of speech, and sentence structure. The author's meticulous observations and clear explanations make this book a valuable resource for linguists, philologists and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of the Malayo-Polynesian languages. The inclusion of a vocabulary of words from both the Tarakan and Bolongan dialects further enhances the book's utility. Tidong proper, from which the Tarakan and Bolongan dialects have evolved, is examined within the broader context of various regional languages and dialects, demonstrating the linguistic and cultural diversity of the region. By examining the complexities of Tidong dialects, the author provides important insights into Borneo's linguistic heritage. 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.…
