Description
Originally published in 1937, this book is a practical manual of Kanuri which will be of use to both the layman and the linguist.
This analysis makes it clear that kanuri is a tone-language and the author urges the reader to observe the tone-system of the language so that the accidence can be fully understood, as grammatical tone sometimes forms an integral part of it.
As this is a practical study, a practical orthography has been chosen - i. e one that uses only letters that are absolutely necessary.
This system improved Kanuri orthography, as it was based on scientific principles.
