Book Description
This edition of Fulfulde - English Dictionary is forward - thinking in its intended mission in somewhat noting of dialectal differences as this may be helpful to a wider area and more useful to users. Considerable revisions to the entries have been made to this edition, similarly a lot of alterations to the cross references. Efforts also have been made in order to incorporate at large some vocabularies not included in the first edition for the benefit of students of the language and researchers therein. People and other books also were consulted. Among the books consulted there are Encyclopaedia Britannica, Chambers Dictionaries, Oxford English Dictionary and Hausa - English Dictionary by Rev. G. P. Bargery, O.U.P. 1934 and 1951. Compared with the first edition, many thousands of entries are included aiming at a future comprehensive Fulfulde Dictionary.

Book Description
La langue peule appartient au groupe atlantique occidental de la famille Niger-Congo. Son extension géographique et son importance culturelle en font une des principales langues de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Les Peuls se rencontrent dans tous les pays de la zone sahélienne, du Sénégal au Tchad et au Cameroun, avec des poussées vers le nord (Mauritanie, Soudan), le sud (Sierra Leone, Côte d'Ivoire, Bénin) et le centre (Centrafrique). Cependant, leur répartition est fort disparate : blocs homogènes reflets de grandes formations étatiques anciennes, petits noyaux isolés au sein d'autres populations, diaspora de groupes de pasteurs nomades, autant de situations qui expliquent qu'aire linguistique et aire de peuplement ne se recoupent pas toujours. Ici, des Peuls ont délaissé leur langue, là des non-Peuls ont assimilé langue et culture peules, ailleurs encore, le peul est devenu langue véhiculaire. De tout cela, résulte une forte dialectalisation. Ce dictionnaire trilingue (peul-français-anglais) recense les racines verbales relevées dans les quatre zones dialectales les plus denses de l'aire peule (Sénégal, Mali, Nigeria et Cameroun). Le système de présentation adopté permet de repérer les variations dialectales tant phonétiques que sémantiques et d'identifier le stock de racines qui est commun à l'ensemble des dialectes. Il intéresse donc aussi bien les dialectologues que les institutions engagées dans l'élaboration de matériel pédagogique en cette langue.
