The Languages Of Mozambique (1856)

By Wilhelm Carl H. Peters

Book Overview

The Languages of Mozambique is a book written by Wilhelm Carl H. Peters and published in 1856. The book provides a comprehensive study of the various languages spoken in Mozambique, a country located in southeastern Africa. Peters, a German linguist, describes the phonetics, grammar, and vocabulary of the languages spoken by the indigenous people of Mozambique, including the Makua, Yao, and Swahili languages. The book also includes a detailed analysis of the Bantu language family, to which many of the Mozambican languages belong. Peters' work is considered a pioneering effort in the field of African linguistics, and it provides valuable insights into the linguistic diversity of Mozambique and the African continent as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
