Kingdom of Mankon: Aspects of History, Language, Culture, Flora and Fauna.

By Christopher Chi Che

This book is a descriptive and documentary analysis of the Mankon I-language and E-language mirrored through aspects of history, geography, flora and fauna. These aspects manifest in the taxonomic nomenclatures we attribute to referents in society. Because these referents were hitherto transmitted orally from generation to generation, the author feels the rich Mankon culture could be endangered. Consequently, he has painstakingly analysed and documented aspects of this culture for posterity. This work focuses the Mankon proverb because it gives an insight into the structure and function of the language. Language, a vehicle of communication, plays a primordial role in encoding and decoding 'metalinguistic' data. Through thorough scientific linguistic universals and principals, the author has proposed orthography for Mankon pedagogy that is simple, tenable and practicable. This book is the answer to the international clarion call for societies to analyse and document their endangered indigenous cultures. Schools, linguists, sociolinguists, anthropologists, historians, etc will find this book especially useful.
