Book excerpt: From the beginning of the sixteenth century Portuguese writers recorded considerable numbers of Bantu words, particularly from the languages of the eastern coast of Africa, where Sofala. Kilwa, Mozambique, and other places had been occupied by considerable forces; and many such words may be culled from the writings of Barbosa, De Barros, Silveira, Monclaro, dos Santos, and others. The first serious recordings from the Bantu languages of the western coast were in the Report of the Kingdom of Congo in 1591 by Pigafetta, an Italian who obtained his information from a Portuguese merchant named Lopes. The words recorded were from the Kongo language, and many of them are verifiable today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area covered by this book, originally published in 1953, is one that has long been recognized as presenting many problems from the point of view of Bantu linguistic studies. Almost all the material set out in this present work is based on notes taken in the field, and in many cases presented completely new facts. The sources of the information used are listed at the end of the linguistic description of each of the groups of languages dealt with. Since there are so many languages to be covered it would be impracticable to give even an outline of the main features of each of them, so an outline is given of the main characteristics of each separate group. One language is used as the type for each group, for the purpose of listing examples of the nominal prefixes, verbal conjugation, and personal prefixes. Other features are illustrated from whichever language is the most suitable.
Download or read book The Classification of the Bantu Languages bound with Bantu Word Division written by Malcolm Guthrie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of this pair, The Classification of Bantu Languages, originally published in 1948, investigates the questions arising out of the use of the term Bantu. It establishes and illustrates the criteria used in identifying languages as members of the Bantu family. The technique used in classification is described and its results shown in the form of a series of descriptive classifications of each of the principal areas. As well as the map (not included in the volume due to modern methods of reproduction, but available to view on routledge.com), there is a complete list of languages classified in their groups. The second volume, Bantu Word Division published in the same year, discusses a question which for many years was the subject of protracted controversy, namely the dispute between the conjunctivist and the disjunctivist, with regard to word division. This pamphlet discusses word division from a different angle, and solves the problem in a more conclusive way.

Excerpt: CHAPTER V Cases: The Locative If I begin by saying that Bantu nouns have nothing which can, properly speaking, be described as case, it will appear as if this chapter, being of the same kind as the famous one on ' Snakes in Iceland, ' had better be left unwritten. However, as we have already seen, there is a Possessive -- if of a somewhat peculiar character. There is no difference in form between the noun-subject and the noun- object, but some pronouns have distinct forms for the accusative, as we shall see in the next chapter. There is something like a vocative. Perhaps the dropping of the initial vowel in Zulu, as ' Zatshuke, ' when addressing a man (instead of ' u Zatshuke') is too slight to be mentioned in this connection; but Chwana(at least in some dialects) has a different terminal vowel for a noun, according as the person referred to is spoken to or spoken of. And Duala prefixes a to nouns in the Vocative. Finally, the Locative in -ni, though confined to a comparatively small number of languages, is a feature which must be taken into account, and it can hardly, for the purposes of this sketch, be classed under any other heading than that of Case. If we limit the term ' case' to those relations which are expressed by inflexions of the noun-stem (declensional endings), we shall have to admit that English nouns are entirely without it, except when the possessive is indicated by 's. Case-endings are becoming obsolete in Dutch, though they still exist in German; they are better exemplified in Latin and Greek, and still more so in Sanscrit, which has seven cases. The Latin declensiqn, for ins...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparative Study of the Bantu and Semi-Bantu Languages I also desire to tender my thanks to the British South Africa Co'mpany, Chartered and Limited, for the efforts made by its London Direction and its employés in South central Africa to record hitherto quite unknown languages for the purpose Of this book' and to the French Government and His Majesty's former Ambassador in Paris, Viscount Bertie of Thame for the facilities accorded to me in 1915 to visit the camps and hospitals of the Senegalese soldiers in France; This assemblage of negroes from all parts of French West and West-central Africa was a singularly fortunate circumstance, inasmuch as it enabled me not only to get an increased acquaintance with the semi-bantu languages, but at the same time to check the accuracy Of Sigismund Koelle's invaluable vocabularies which were transcribed sixty to seventy years ago at Sierra Leone, from freed slaves arriving there from all parts Of West and Central Africa. I hope circumstances may permit of this study Of the Bantu and semi-bantu languages being published in its entirety while I am still able to correct the proofs, and while most of my numerous helpers are alive to appreciate the results of their collaboration.
