Originally published in 1987, this thesaurus is concerned with the
spoken languages of Africa. Languages are grouped into a relatively
large number of sets and subsets within which the relationship of
languages to one another is locally apparent and uncontroversial.
The volume presents the languages in classified order with notes on
each language, their variant names and immediate classification,
and reference to the sources consulted. One section offers an
exhaustive list of the languages spoken as home languages by local
communities in each state, together with details of languages
widely used for inter-group communication, given official
recognition, or used in education or the media. There are brief
phonological analyses of a broad sample of some 20 African
languages and a comprehensive bibliography and language index to
the whole work
