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.
