Directory         1.     Ulrich Lueders , Introductory Sketch of the Bantu Languages: Werner Message 1: Introductory Sketch of the Bantu Languages: Werner Date: 18-Apr-2011 From: Ulrich Lueders <lincom.europat-online.de> Subject: Introductory Sketch of the Bantu Languages: Werner E-mail this message to a friend Title: Introductory Sketch of the Bantu Languages Series Title: LINCOM Orientalia 13 Published: 2011 Publisher: Lincom GmbH                 http://www.lincom.eu Author: Alice Werner Paperback: ISBN: 9783862900398 Pages: 356 Price: Europe EURO 69.10 Abstract: The Bantu family of languages is spoken throughout Southern and Central Africa, as far as the Gulf of Cameroons on the north-west, and the Tana river on the north-east.The name Bantu was first introduced by Bleek (1827-1875). The existence of this language-family was at any rate conjectured as early as 1908 by the German naturalist Lichtenstein. It will, I hope, be sufficiently clear from the title that the present work is only an "Introduction" and does not in any respect seek to enter into competition with those of Bleek, Professor Meinhof, Father Torrend and Sir Harry Johnston. I am under great obligations, more or less, to all four, though compelled to differ, occasionally, with all respect, from each; but I venture to think I have occupied some ground not completely covered by any of them, yet important from the beginner's point of view (adapted from the Introduction).
