Note
The author claims that “however difficult to be accounted for”, both the Hottentots and the Malagassy people are of a common Malay origin. Contains vocabularies for almost 250 languages, e.g. Avikum, Guang, Ewe, Dagbani, Gulmancema, Moore, Sisaala, Buli, Kulango, Lekpa, Nuni, Yoruba, Igbo, Ibibio, several Nupoid languages/dialects, as well as Mande, and Cushitic languages (cfr Doke 1945, Hintze 1959, Roncador & Miehe 1998:46). Bantu languages are represented by Duala A24, Isubu A23, Fernandian A31, Benga A34, Mpongwe B11a, Kongo H16, ‘Angola’ H21a, and more. Reprinted 1972 by Gregg International at Westmead UK, edited by Edwin & Shirley Ardener (76+104 p.; ISBN-10 0-576-11201-1).
