Book excerpt: Excerpt from African Native Literature: Or Proverbs, Tales, Fables,& Historical Fragments in the Kanuri or Bornu Language, to Which Are Added a Translation of the Above and a Kanuri-English Vocabulary I have now the pleasure of introducing to the friends of Africa, who are interested in its languages and people, the last volume which has resulted from my lingual researches during a five years' stay in Sierra Leone. It connects itself with the Bornu Grammar, lately published, and contains a limited selection from the manuscript literature on which that Grammar is based, and a Vocabulary of the same language. These three parts, the Grammar, the native Literature, and the Vocabulary, will be found to form something complete, as far as they go, in one of the most important Negro languages, hitherto unknown. The narratives which are here communicated deserve special attention: they are not compositions, formed with difficulty by a foreigner, but they are the work of a genuine Negro mind, both in conception and expression; in them we hear a real Negro tongue speaking to us, we hear tales in the same language, and about the same words, in which they have been told over and over again to beguile many an idle hour in a land where nature's richest bounties are obtained without almost any labour. Here, therefore, the student has the proper means presented to him by which a correct and thorough acquaintance with the language may be acquired.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces beginning students and non-specialists to the diversity and richness of African languages. In addition to providing a solid background to the study of African languages, the book presents linguistic phenomena not found in European languages. A goal of this book is to stimulate interest in African languages and address the question: What makes African languages so fascinating? The orientation adopted throughout the book is a descriptive one, which seeks to characterize African languages in a relatively succinct and neutral manner, and to make the facts accessible to a wide variety of readers. The author’s lengthy acquaintance with the continent and field experiences in western, eastern, and southern Africa allow for both a broad perspective and considerable depth in selected areas. The original examples are often the author’s own but also come from other sources and languages not often referenced in the literature. This text also includes a set of sound files illustrating the phenomena under discussion, be they the clicks of Khoisan, talking drums, or the ideophones (words like English lickety-split) found almost everywhere, which will make this book a valuable resource for teacher and student alike.
