First published in 1881, this is a detailed dictionary of Tshi, the
language prevalent in the Cold Cast countries between the rivers Asini
and Tanno in the west and the Volts in the east. The chief speakers of
Tshi are the Ashanti, Fanti, Akim and Aquapem. This volume will be of
considerable utility to those with an interest in the language and
culture of this region, and it is not to be missed by collectors.
Contents include: 'General Remarks', 'Grammatical Specialities', 'Sounds
and Letters', 'Vowels', 'Consonants', 'Formation of Words',
'Disyllables', 'Verb Stems', Affixes and Nouns', 'Names of Places,
Languages, Dialects', 'References to Books or Persons', 'Books of the
Bible', 'Various Marks or Signs', 'Publications in Tshi', etc. Many
vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable,
high-quality, modern edition complete with the original text and images.
