The Zande language predominates from 230 to 300 Long. E. and from 30 to 60 Lat. N. and in some places extends beyond these limits (Van den Plas, p. 9).1 As Professor Tucker notes (1940, p. 17),2 it is remarkable, considering the area covered by it and the number of peoples belonging to different languagegroups-Sudanic, Bantu, Nilotic, and Nilo-Hamitic-who today speak it, that it has developed only five, and not very divergent, dialects. It is also remarkable that, without any technological superiority, those who built this empire were able to conquer such vast territories and to weld their inhabitants into a nation
