Book excerpt: Die vorliegende grammatische Skizze des Somali (Somalia) bietet zunächst allgemeine Informationen zur Sprache wie Verbreitung, Dialekte, Status und Orthographie. Somali gehört zu dem ost-kuschitischen Zweig des Afroasiatischen. Mit einer Sprecherzahl von 9 Millionen wird es hauptsächlich in Somalia, Äthiopien, Djibuti und Nordkenia gesprochen. Als Muttersprache praktisch der gesamten Bevölkerung Somalias erfuhr das Somali nach 1972 eine beachtliche staatliche Förderung und wird heute in allen Bereichen des öffentlichen Lebens benutzt. Modernisierung und Standardisierung haben ein hohes Niveau erreicht. Der didaktisch strukturierte Hauptteil führt in die Phonologie, Morphologie und Syntax ein. Innerhalb der verbalen Morphologie stellen die attributiven Verben (attributive verbs) und die pre-verbs, welche die Präpositionen ersetzen, im Somali eine morphologische Besonderheit dar. Der Anhang enthält einen kurzen sozio-politischen Text mit englischer Übersetzung und lexiko-grammatikalischen Anmerkungen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Grammar of the Somali Language: With Examples in Prose and Verse, and an Account of the Yibir and Midgan Dialects In 1903 I published a small practical hand-book, Notes on the Somali Language, but this was written on lines totally different from those of the present Grammar. It was a compilation of notes which I had found useful to myself, and was intended to serve as an elementary guide to beginners, who had not the time to digest a more lengthy work. The orthography, the Spelling, and the few grammatical rules, have since been entirely revised and corrected. I desire to express my grateful appreciation of the assistance rendered me by Mr H. J. Edwards, Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Peterhouse, Cambridge, and by Mr R. R. Marett, Fellow and Tutor of Exeter College, Oxford, in revising the whole of the present work, in manuscript and proof: Professor E. G. Browne kindly suggested some improvements in the Introduction. I acknowledge with gratitude and admiration the promptness shown by the officials and staff of the Cambridge University Press, in completing against time a work involving unusual difficulties of composition and proof reading.

Download or read book Somali written by John I. Saeed and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somali is spoken by more than nine million people in the Horn of Africa and by expatriate communities in the Middle East, Europe and North America. It is the official language of Somalia and an important regional language in Ethiopia and Kenya. As a Cushitic language Somali is part of the great Afroasiatic language family whose other branches include Semitic, Berber, Chadic and Ancient Egyptian. This book provides a comprehensive description of the grammar of the language that will be of interest to non-specialists and linguists interested in typology and language comparison. The author's accessible investigation of the phonology, morphology, syntax and discourse structure allows the reader a clear view of the linguistic character of Somali and, through Somali, of a Cushitic language. A further important feature of the book is its use of authentic data from a range of sources, including prose, poetry and proverbs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Grammar of the Somali Language: With Examples in Prose and Verse, and an Account of the Yibir and Midgan Dialects There are but few people who have any serious study of the many and interesting tongues of that part of the African Continent in which the Somali race has grown up. Our knowledge of the Somali language is due to the labours of Rigby, Hunter, and Larajasse and Sampont. As this is not a written language, great praise is due to those who first grappled with the difficulty of reducing the speech to writing. This has now been done so satisfactorily that I myself have lately carried on a successful correspondence with an educated Somali in his native tongue, using the spelling and orthography of the present book. Schleicher's work is rather a philological treatise on the language, gathered largely from isolated individuals of the people, and not from practical acquaintance with the race in their own country; but he is to be congratulated on having collected a number of stories which are a useful and important foundation to a Somali literature. Paulitachke's work is a purely comparative treatise on the three dialects, Somali, Gala, and Danakil, written from an ethnological point of view. While serving with Somali troops during the campaigns of 1902-1904 against the Mullah, Mohammed Abdallah, I had the most favourable opportunities for a practical and wholesale study of the colloquial dialect of this people; and it seemed only right that results obtained from so intimate an acquaintance should not he left unrecorded, in spite of the many imperfections which must still exist in the record. The work done by others hitherto has been largely confined to the coast and to the mixed population which assembles at the sea-port towns; and it is but recently that any strangers except a few sportsmen have been able to dwell in the interior, and so to know and converse with the natives in their own homes and natural surroundings.
