SYNOPSIS Franz von Winkelmann visited the Eastern Province in 1788–89 and wrote a brief report in German which was published in part in volume IV of Godée Molsbergen's Reizen in Zuid‐Afrika (The Hague, 1932). The section containingVon Winkelmann's notes on primitive languages and his vocabularies of Xhosa and Hottentot is now published for the first time. His list of Xhosa words is of considerable importance as this is the oldest extant collection of words in a Southern Bantu language. We know that Grevenbroek compiled a list of Xhosa (“Magossi”) words some hundred years earlier, obtained from survivors of the Stavenisse which was wrecked on the Natal coast in 1686, but except for the numerals 1–10, 20 and 30, his collection has been lost. The Hottentot words are here discussed at some length, arranged alphabetically according to their Afrikaans equivalents. An interesting conclusion is the fact that the Eastern dialects have a close affinity with the extinct Cape and Kora forms, in contrast with Nama
