Abstract:

The Shilluk country is situated in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan; it extends along
the west bank of the White Nile from Kaka in the north to Lake No in the
South. The present grammar is intended as a practical guide to the Shilluk
language. The main difficulties in acquiring a knowledge of the language are
pronunciation and intonation. The orthography adopted is a compromise between
the one already in use among the missionaries, and the phonetic writing
(adopted from the preface).

The short grammar of Shilluk contains chapters on the sounds, the noun,
pronoun, verb, a list of verbs in their different forms, short sentences, two
texts with interlinear translation and a short dictionary. (Re-edition;
originally published 1910 in Philadelphia by the Board of Foreign Missions of
the United Presbyterian Church of N.A., written in English)
