Originally published in 1956, this volume presents a survey of the
non-Bantu languages in the area extending south of the Sahara from
Lake Chad to the Indian Ocean, together withj those of South
Africa. The arrangement is primarily linguistic, in as much as
larger units which show some indisputable affinities are where
possible treated contiguously. Languages in the centre of the total
area are discussed first, followed by thos ein the west, north,
east and finally south.
The classification and distribution of the languages of the
Northern Bantu Borderland between the Great Lakes and the Indian
Ocean have been given in Volume 1 of The Linguistic Survey of the
Northern Bantu Borderland, where however, the linguistic evidence
on which the classification rested was not included. This is now
set out in this volume, originally published in 1957. The languages
have been divided into three categories: Bantu, partly Bantu and
non-Bantu. within each category the languages have been grouped
according to linguistic criteria. The choice of languages
represented here has been determined by the availability of
reliable linguistic material.
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.
This volume, originally published in 1970, presents a survey of the
languages spoken in an area extending from the Atlantic coast at
the Sengal River eastward to the Lake Chad region. The area covered
by this volume is mainly a goegraphical one, so it follows that not
all the languages included are related to one another, though a
certain degree of homogeneity appears.

This book, originally published in 1966, deals mainly with
morphemes and with grammatical and syntactic behaviour. Although
some vocabulary material is contained in this volume, and some more
in the Linguistic Survey of the Northern Bantu Borderland,
vocabulary comparison itself plays little part. The volume presents
an overall picture of the working of representative languages from
each section of the Handbook and provides grammatical material
which will help future students in classifying the languages to
their typological as apart from their lexical features.
