Comparative Dictionary
Southern and Eastern Languages
[2021] The ultimate aim of this project is to produce a comparative dictionary of the languages of the sub-group of Gur formerly labelled 'Western Oti-Volta' with many scholars now replacing this term with 'Mabia Central'. [Bodomo, Adams, Hasitatu Abubakari and Samuel Alhassan Issah [eds.] 2020. Handbook of the Mabia Languages of West Africa. Glienicke : Galda Verlag - p.11]
As a convenient abbreviation for "the MaBia Central languages covered in Naden's Comparative Dictionary' I will use MaB.N
This, the first 'fascicle' that was ready to post, contains the languages Dagbani, Hanga, KaMara, Kantoosi, Mampruli, Nabt, Talni, Kusaal Agole [Ghana], and Kusaal Toonde [B.F.] – Bodomo's Mabia-Mid-Central, Mabia-Kusaal, and Mabia-South. The map shows the location of the home-territory of speakers of these languages
