This work provides the first linguistic description of Isaalo
(Western Sisaala [SSL]), a language spoken by less than 10,000
people in and around Lambussie, in the Upper West Region of Ghana.
It presents a detailed phonological description and includes an
orthography proposal for this previously unwritten language.
Included is also an overview of Isaalo morphology, a 1200 word
lexicon and a transcribed interlinear glossed text. This work
establishes Isaalo as a distinct language within the Sisaala
language complex and disambiguates it from closely related Sisaala
languages spoken in Northern Ghana and Southwestern Burkina Faso.
