A Grammar of Mani

By G. Tucker Childs

This book provides a complete grammar of the Mani language spoken in the Samu (alternate French spelling "Samou") region of Sierra Leone and Guinea. The data come from a short pilot study conducted in 2000, and a larger study taking place over two years 2004-2006. That the Mani language will soon disappear is certain; just as certain is that this grammar will be the only one ever written.
