The linguistic work and manuscripts of R. D. Macminn
SYNOPSIS R. D. MacMinn was a missionary of the Livingstonia Mission from 1893 to 1934.

Scripture translation into Bantu languages
SYNOPSIS A survey of Scripture translations in the Bantu field, with accounts of the work done in a selection of languages and of the pioneer missionaries who carried it out. The first Scripture translations into Bantu languages were produced in the 17th century, but the first New Testament appeared only in 1840 and the first complete Bible in 1857, both the latter being renderings into Tswana (Tlhaping) by Robert Moffat. Up to 1938, 89 Bantu New…

The Basis of Bantu Literature
Certain Bantu languages to-day are developing as literary media, not only for official, educational, correspondence or publicity purposes, but for the more aesthetic side of life, for mental and spiritual culture. It is appropriate to consider now what basis the Bantu languages, qua Bantu languages, have upon which to build a distinctive literature, what natural equipment for literary success

European and Bantu Languages in South Africa
Opening ParagraphThe future of the Bantu languages in South Africa is a question often discussed both by Europeans interested in them and by thinking Natives who use them. The ideas and views expressed on this question are extremely varied, for the subject has its economic and political aspects as well as its natural and cultural aspects, and to-day there is a tendency, particularly among the educated and semi-educated Natives, to stress the econ…

The earliest records of Bantu
Lamba Literature
Regarding the true classification of the numerous Bantu languages we are still very much in the dark. We need much more detailed information upon many areas and collation of work before the various types, languages, and dialects which go to make up the Bantu family can be accurately mapped out. We do know, however, that Bantu languages are associated together broadly into a number of zones or types, which to a great extent are determined by geogr…

The Linguistic Situation in South Africa
In this article I shall confine my remarks almost exclusively to that portion of South Africa south of the Zambezi and the Kunene rivers, a territory comprising the Union of South Africa, South-West Africa, Bechwanaland, Southern Rhodesia, and the southern portion of Portuguese East Africa. In this large area, quite apart from the European languages used, we have representatives of three distinct linguistic types. Two of these types, the Bushman …
