Download or read book English Lekongho Dictionary written by Sentemong Mehpah and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, a United Nations study reported that half of the worlds languages (estimated at 6,000) would disappear by the end of this century. A third of these endangered languages are in Africa where, according to the same study, nearly 250 languages have disappeared in the last century. Language is the heart, identity, storage system for the collective and unique memory and experience of every culture, people, including their natural habitat. Loss of language means loss of the ability to retain and pass on not just a belief system but also invaluable knowledge to future generations. This English-Lekongho/Lekongho-English Dictionary is a modest first attempt to minimize the envisaged sad phenomenon of language loss. Nkongho-Mbo people speak Lekongho, one of the five variants of the Mbo language of the Mbo ethnic group of Cameroon, with their ancestral home in the Kupe Muanenguba Administrative Area of the South-west Region. With this book, the authors fervent hope is that there will no longer surface any justification to continue to refrain from speaking Lekongho on a daily basis. This effort will help to regionalize, nationalize and internationalize the Lekongho language since Nkongho people are spread all over the country, Africa and the world.

Download or read book The Fundamentals of Lekongho written by A. B. K. Kasozi and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book stems from a compilation of two separate research projects. The first was A Long Essay entitled Meaning of the Names of People in Mbo, Department of Linguistics, University of Buea and the other was an Essay entitled Time in Lekongho. The authors succinctly presented Nkongho- Mbo traditional names, their meaning and socio-cultural implications in the Nkongho-Mbo Speech Community. Most importantly, the researchers examined the impact of the Nkongho- Mbo names to the bearers. They explored the positivity and negativity of the selected Nkongho- Mbo names, including the meanings portrayed through the Lekongho language. In addition, they demonstrated the wealth and diversity of African languages, cultures and traditions and how they are fast losing their richness and diversity to the domineering influence of European colonialism and modernization which has drastically altered the socio-cultural, socio-economic and political conditions in Africa and given rise to a new generation of Africans who take greater pride in imbibing and promoting Europeans rather than fostering African values. The authors also addressed the Nkongho conception of time and names in a succinct analysis of how the Nkongho-Mbo people conceived, interpret and use them. The concept of time in most African cultures is very elusive, fluid and imprecise but this book has demonstrated that careful research and patient analysis can reduce that elusiveness, fluidity and imprecision. The authors have moved away from that colonial frame of mind and have shown great interest in reviving certain of the African values that have fallen prey to modernization.

Book excerpt: Leb Lango is spoken by millions of Lango people who are geographically located in central Uganda, and politically located in northern Uganda. It can be traced back to, the languages spoken by their, Ateker and Galla/Oromo ancestors of Ethiopia during, BCE and Medieval Era before they finally arrived at Otuke Hills (Got Otuke) in Uganda. The language has since absorbed vocabulary from a huge number of sources which has seen a significant change to its orthography, grammar, and pronunciation. Currently, the language consists of a blend of many sources and what was originally leb lango. Most of the vocabulary in this dictionary is based on the modern day lango language which was compiled between 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st Century.
