Note
“An inventory of ethnolinguistic units on the Guinea coast can be drawn from early written sources, that is, from Portuguese and other European records of between 1440 and 1700. When this inventory is compared with the present-day inventory it is found that, in the particulars cited, the units have remained very much the same for three, four, or five centuries” (quoted from the summary, p269). The article was reprinted 1997 in «Africa encountered» (Variorum/Ashgate Publishing), an anthology of various papers by Hair.
