Description
This grammar provides the first comprehensive grammatical description of Moloko/ a Chadic language spoken by about 10/000 speakers in northern Cameroon. The grammar was developed from hours and years that the authors spent at friends’ houses hearing and recording stories/ hours spent listening to the tapes and transcribing the stories/ then translating them and studying the language through them. Time was spent together and with others speaking the language and talking about it/ translating resources and talking to Moloko people about them. Grammar and phonology discoveries were made in the office/ in the fields while working/ and at gatherings. In the process/ the four authors have become more and more passionate about the Moloko language and are eager to share their knowledge about it with others.
