Directory         1.    Ulrich Lueders, The Siwi Language: Walker Message 1: The Siwi Language: Walker Date: 10-May-2010 From: Ulrich Lueders <lincom.europat-online.de> Subject: The Siwi Language: Walker E-mail this message to a friend Title: The Siwi Language Series Title: LINCOM Gramatica 31 Published: 2010 Publisher: Lincom GmbH                 http://www.lincom.eu Author: W Seymour Walker Paperback: ISBN: 9783895862489 Pages: 99 Price: ---- 44.80 Abstract: The Oasis of Siwa - the most westernly of the oases of Egypt - its people, and their speech, have been so long objects of interest and speculation to the outside world. The author has devoted much time and labour, under difficult circumstances, to the compiling of the Grammar and vocabularies of the Siwi language hitherto practically unknown. C. V. Stanley, in 1911, and shortly later, J. Quibell, of the Cairo Museum, came to the conclusion that Siwi was Touareg or closely allied to it. (adapted from from the foreword and introduction). The Ethnologue (2009) classifies Siwi as "Afro-Asiatic, Berber, Eastern, Siwa - not closely related to other Berber languages". Contents: Introduction, abbreviations, the accidence (transliteration and pronunciation, accent, the article, the noun-substantive, the noun-adjective, gender, number, numerals, the pronoun, the verb, the preposition, declension, the adverb, the conjunction, the exclamations and interjections), on the concordance of the verb.
