Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Grammar of the Mpongwe Language, With Vocabularies
Notwithstanding these accessions of foreign words, however, the different dialects retain their original words and gramma tical principles without material modification, and show more affinity for each other, than could be expected of barbarous tribes living so far apart and having no intercourse.
Nothing, perhaps, has contributed more to keep up these general resemblances, than the peculiar character and strue ture of the languages themselves.
