Cf. 421, and 800, 808. Most of those prepositions which are not classifiers (569-578) seem to have been originally verbal forms related to the auxiliaries ya " to go " (911), enda " to go " (cf. 918 and 939), kala " to sit" (cf. 941 and 944), nga " to be inclined to... " (cf. 995), etc. XII.--Copulative Brefi'res defotc Substantives. 582.--Among the numerous manners of expressing the copula in the Bantu languages, most of which will be studied together in another chapter, there is one which is to be noted here, because in some languages it is a mere modification of the prefixes of the substantives. Its proper effect seems to be that of verbalizing nouns, i. e. changing them into expressions which have more of the nature of verbs than of that of substantives, as if we should say in English "this bleeds," instead of " this (is) blood ." Its proper form in Tonga, and some other languages of the interior, is a mere nasal sound, m or n nasal, prefixed to classifiers. In some cases it is a full nasal syllable, viz. nga, or ngu, or ni. In Kafir its form varies as the classifiers themselves. In Senna, Chwana, Swahili, etc., it has the same form before all sorts of nouns, etc. 584t.--N. B. In general, mere nasals which precede hard consonants or m are practically not heard, unless they be immediately preceded by a vowel which supports them. Hence it is that in the above Tonga examples n or m are in some cases put between brackets, because at the beginning of a sentence, or after a pause, they would not be perceived. 585.--It is impossible to make out to what extent the copulative prefixes of Tonga are used in the languages of the interior, because nobody that I know...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparative Grammar of the South African Bantu Languages: Comprising Those of Zanzibar, Mozambique, the Zambezi, Kafirland, Benguela, Angola, the Congo, the Ogowe, the Cameroons, the Lake Region, Etc However favourably my friends may have thought of this work when still in manuscript, I cannot flatter myself that it comes near to the perfection to which I should have wished to have been able to bring it. Any criticisms, corrections, additions, or suggestions, will be received with hearty thanks. There is no need to call the attention of any one to the importance of the study of Bantu. Independently of its scientific interest, it is a key for opening one half of an immense continent to Christian civilization. I will only add a word of thanks to all those to whom I am indebted for help, whether from their published works in the same line as this, or from private advice and information. I feel particularly indebted to the following friends: The Rev. J. T. Walford, S. J., for having very kindly looked over, and corrected, the greater part of the English of my MSS. and proofsheets. Dr. R. N. Cust, for having no less kindly given me a number of modern publications on the Bantu languages, among others most of those of the S. P. C. K. His "Sketch of the Modern Languages of Africa" has also been to me an invaluable guide throughout. The Revv. Fathers Causse, Temming, Ronchi, Andre, S. J., for information or MSS. regarding the Kafir, Chwana, Senna, and Kilimane languages, respectively. The Rev. Father Lévesque, of the Société de Notre-Dame des Missions d'Afriqiie, for having kindly sent me all the publications of his Society on the Bantu languages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1919, this volume provides a detailed linguistic breakdown of the Bantu language family of Central and Southern Africa. Its author held in-situ expertise in Nanja, Swahili, Zulu, Giryama and Pokomo. A professor of Swahili and Bantu languages, she was the author of several books on Bantu languages and African peoples. The volume aims to depict the broad principles underlying the structure of the Bantu language family and attempts a classification of those languages. Contemporaneous with the colonization of Tanzania, many of the areas to which this volume was relevant were under British control at the time of publication.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1945, this volume represented the first to classify Bantu languages. This volume does not record all the dialects but makes reference to those in which some grammatical study has been done and classifies them according to mainly geographical zones. Owing to tribal migrations, individual members of a particular zone may be living among members of a different zone (as has been the case with the Ngoni, South-Eastern Zone, who are found among the Eastern Bantu), but the zone label is taken from the habitat of the majority.
