Publisher's Synopsis
Observations On The Hausa And Fulfulde Languages is a book written by William Balfour Baikie in 1861. The book is a detailed study of the Hausa and Fulfulde languages, which are spoken in West Africa. Baikie was a Scottish explorer and linguist who spent several years in West Africa, where he learned the local languages and studied the cultures of the people living there. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the Hausa language and the second part on the Fulfulde language. Each part contains a detailed analysis of the grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation of the language, as well as examples of common phrases and expressions. Baikie also provides insights into the culture and customs of the people who speak these languages, including their social structures, religious beliefs, and traditional practices. Observations On The Hausa And Fulfulde Languages is considered a valuable resource for linguists, anthropologists, and historians who are interested in the cultures and languages of West Africa. It provides a comprehensive overview of two important languages spoken in the region, and offers insights into the history and traditions of the people who use them. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
