Author: Amalia E. Gnanadesikan
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 1614512345
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines

Pages : 372
Book Description
Dhivehi, the language of the Maldives, has received little attention in the linguistic literature, and no other comprehensive grammar of the standard language has yet been published. This work describes the phonology, unique orthography, morphology, and syntax of standard Dhivehi. Plentiful examples with native orthography, Roman transliteration, and morpheme-by-morpheme glossing illustrate the various features of the language. This grammar will be of use both to linguists and to students of Dhivehi.

Uncovering the History of Africans in Asia
Author: Shihan de Silva Jayasuriya
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047431715
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
The presence of Africans in Asia has been overshadowed by the tragedy of Atlantic slavery. Identifying Africans in Asia therefore challenges contemporary scholarship. Within this context, the processes of assimilation and marginalisation hinder identification of African migrants. This book demonstrates the multiplicity of roles performed by Africans and the heights that a few of them reached, even in a single generation. Drawing on a variety of sources, both oral and documented, this book reveals the extent of the African presence in Asia.
