Description

"Only a handful of Bantu languages have been completely described phonologically. This volume brings to the forefront Cilungu, spoken in the northeastern part of Zambia's Northern Province and on the southeast shore of Lake Rukwa in Tanzania. Along with a focus on Cilungu phonology, this book also details much of its morphology. The nominal morphology includes descriptions of locatives, diminutives, augmentatives, deverbal nouns, and copulatives. The verbal morphology is comparatively rich, having 26 single-word tense/aspects and over 30 compound ones."--book jacket.
