  • A Short Phonetic Study of Wolof (Jolof)

    Open AccessIda C WardARTICLEAfrica1939

    This short sketch of Wolof (or Jolof) is based upon an examination of the speech of John C. Faye and Elliman Bah, both of Bathurst, Gambia, and on work with four or five Wolof speakers from French territories at the Paris Exhibition in 1937. A comparison of the two types from a phonetic point of view is interesting

  • A Linguistic Tour in Southern Nigeria. Certain Problems Re-stated

    Open AccessIda C WardARTICLEAfrica1935

    Opening ParagraphA six-months' tour in Southern Nigeria has afforded a valuable opportunity for review of certain questions about the chief languages of this part of West Africa and for a re-statement of the problems connected with them. The main questions are:1. With what success can one dialect be used as a literary medium?2. Is the new orthography suggested by the Institute suitable for the purposes for which it was designed?3.

  • Quelques Observations sur La Langue Mandingue

    Open AccessHenri Labouret, Ida C WardARTICLEAfrica1933Cited by: 2References: 1

    La langue mandé ou mandingue est une des plus importantes de l'Afrique Occidentale Française. Les estimations faites il y a dix ans permettent de penser qu'elle était alors parlée comme idiome maternel par environ trois millions de Soudanais, tandis que deux millions d'autres s'en servaient comme de seconde langue. II est probable qu'une révision sérieuse de ces chiffres accuserait une augmentation assez forte des Nègres qui en usent, car elle a …

  • Some Notes on the Pronunciation of the Kanuri Language of West Africa

    Open AccessIda C WardARTICLEBulletin of the School of…1926

    By the courtesy of the Commissioner for the Nigerian Section of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, I was able to make the following notes on Kanuri, after about a dozen sittings with a native of Kano, in 1924, and a few more in 1925. The native, whose name is Arigana, spoke no English other than a few isolated words such as yes, good morning, come, sit , etc. I knew no Kanuri at all, nor Hausa, which he could also speak. Mr. Nicholson, who…
