Abstract:

The Samoan is a branch of the Malay-Polynesian language, which is spread 
over the whole island world of the Pacific Ocean from Madagascar to South 
America, and is to be found (with its various dialects) in the Melanesian, 
Malayan, and Polynesian groups of islands. It is one of the numerous 
Polynesian tongues which are in use over the eastern and south-eastern area 
of Malay-Polynesia, extending, roughly, from New Zealand to the Hawaiian 
Islands.

The Samoan alphabet is comprised of only fourteen letters?five vowels, a, 
e, i, o, u, and nine consonants, f, g, l, m, n, p, s, t, v; d and b are never used; 
h, k, and r only occurring in words of foreign origin, as auro, gold; areto, 
bread; ki, key. All words have a vowel termination, and their etymological 
forms are constructed by the employment of particles attached to the roots, 
thereby forming agglutinative or polysynthetic words, the particles being 
sometimes strung one after the other throughout an entire sentence. For 
example: fa'a, to cause, and 'uma, quite, all; fa'a'uma, to finish, terminate; fia, 
to be willing; inu, to drink; fiainu, to be thirsty; and so on (adopted from the 
introduction).

Contents: Pronunciation, word system (noun, adjective, pronouns, the verb, 
numerals, etc.), selections for reading, remarks on some of the points of 
similarity between the Samoan and the Tahitian and Maori languages, 
vocabulary. 

This re-edition has been published as no. 30 in the LINCOM Gramatica 
(LINGram) series (originally published 1918, London, written in English, 
translated from German by Arnold B. Stock).
