Some Uses of Arithmetical Computation in Comparative Bantu Studies
Some Developments in the Prehistory of the Bantu Languages
In a field like Africa it is reasonable to hope for some assistance from linguistic data for the general study of prehistory. In fact there is a real temptation to use material of this kind in such a way that the results cannot be verified, or, to put it more baldly, to make guesses that are no better than other guesses. Clearly the serious investigation of the prehistory of Africa demands something more than speculative hypotheses, and for this …

Linguistic Survey of the Northern Bantu Borderland: Vol. I
Some Features of the Mfinu Verbal System
The people whose language forms the subject of this article live in the Belgian Congo, on the sandy plateau immediately to the north-east of Léopoldville. Known to the neighbouring Kongo-speaking tribes as Bamfununga or Bamfunika, they call themselves Bamfinu, and their language Emfinu. Following the usual practice of referring to Bantu languages in English by means of the stem of the vernacular name, this particular language is termed Mfinu.Alth…
Observations on Normal Classes in Bantu Languages
Since Bleek first introduced the method of classifying nominals in Bantu languages by means of their concord prefixes, and of assigning a number to each class so constituted, this has been the accepted practice in Bantu linguistic studies.The numbering of the classes is, however, more precisely a means of labelling the different sets of concord prefixes that operate the grammatical agreement in any given language. Nevertheless, as it is in one ty…

Gender, Number and Person in Bantu Languages
One of the more obvious facts about the occurrence of grammatical concord in a language is the possibility of classifying the words -that operate the concord. The simplest kind of classification is one in which a class consists of all those words which require or display a particular set of agreements. In this way a definite number of classes is established, but there is no indication of any relationship between the classes, indeed the nature of …
The Lingua Franca of the Middle Congo
Opening ParagraphFrom time to time there have appeared in this journal notes on the lingua franca spoken along the central section of the River Congo. On the usual principle of discarding the prefix in referring to the names of Bantu languages, this lingua franca has been called Ngala. In this case, however, we are obliged to retain the prefix to avoid confusion, as there exists in this area more than one language whose name is derived from this …
Tone Ranges in a Two-Tone Language (Lingala)
The language on which this short study is based is Lingala, the very interesting lingua franca spoken along the vast stretch of the central part of the main Congo River. The language is spoken almost entirely by Bantu tribes, all of whom have also their own tribal languages. Naturally there is considerable affinity between these languages, and in some senses Lingala may be said to represent the Highest Common Factor of them. Phonetically they are…
