Note
The vocabulary part contains numerals (and more?) from 31 African languages, e.g. Empoongwa B11a, Sheckan B21, Kaylee B20?, Oongoomo B22b, Oongabai B20?, Garangi (Mande?), Kong, Callana, Garman, Fobee (Fon?), Adampi (Gbe?), Tambi (?), Tembu (?), Ashantee, Fantee, Booroom (?), Inta (Guang?), Aowin (Anyi), Amanahea (Nyo Kwa), Ahanta, Affootoo (Efutu?), Inkra (Fante), Acra (Fante), Kerrapay (Gbe?), Badaggry (Gbe?), Dagwhumba (Gbe?), Mosee (Gbe?), Inwa (Gbe?), Kumsallahoo (Gbe?), Bornu, Maiha (Kanuri?), Mallowa (Hausa?), Quolla-liffa (Hausa?), Kallaghee (Bade). “A few Malemba [Kikongo] words occur as glosses in Bowdich’s Ashantee vocabulary. At first I thought these represented the language of the River Malimba, near the Cameroons. They seem, however, to coincide more with the Malemba of Smith [cfr Tuckey 1818]” (Latham 1847:190). Reprinted 1966 by Frank Cass & Co. in London, edited and introduced by W.E.F. Ward (65+viii+512 p.).
