A Dictionary of the Grebo Language (1860) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161756272)

A Dictionary of the Grebo Language is a comprehensive reference book written by John Payne and published in 1860. The book provides an in-depth look at the Grebo language, which is spoken by the Grebo people of Liberia and Ivory Coast. The dictionary is organized alphabetically and contains over 5,000 entries, each accompanied by an English translation. In addition to the dictionary entries, there is also a grammar section that provides an overview of the language's structure and syntax. The author, John Payne, was a British missionary who spent many years living among the Grebo people. He was fluent in their language and worked to create a written form of the language, which had previously been primarily oral. This dictionary is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Grebo language, linguistics, or African culture. It provides a fascinating look at a language and culture that is not widely known outside of West Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
