Book Description
Excerpt from A Grammar of the Mandingo Language: With Vocabularies The greatest difference of dialect existing amongst the aborigines of the Gambia, proceeds from the frequent omission of the possessive and personal pronouns, the neglect of the sign of the possessive case, and the abbreviation of familiar words and phrases. But such contracted forms of expression render the phraseology somewhat ambiguous in its meaning, and would make it almost unintelligible in writing. The natives of Western Africa have also little idea of the value and divisions of time; hence some ambiguity occasionally arises in relating the circum stances of an event. The author has endeavoured to fix the value of the tenses of the verb with as much precision as usage will admit of.

Mandinka is spoken by all different ethnic groups. Why? Because it's easy! Learn the few rules and apply them to the common verbs en substantives. Once arrived you will see that you are 'outstanding in the crowd' and will be treated differently...Mandinka for each moment! The market, restaurant, your hotel, up country or the local disco. This guide provides many ready-to-use examples and a word for word translation to unveil the structure of the language and give you the Mandinka-feel.
