Abstract:

Mursi is a Nilo-Saharan language spoken by a small group of people who live in
the Lower Omo Valley, Ethiopia, and is one of the most endangered languages of
the country. 

Based on the fieldwork that the author conducted in beautiful villages of the
Mursi community, this descriptive grammar is organized into fourteen chapters
rich in examples and an appendix containing four transcribed texts. The
readers are thus provided with a clear and useful tool, which constitutes and
important addition to our knowledge of Mursi and of other related languages
spoken in the area. 

Besides being an empirical data source for linguists interested in typology
and endangered language description and documentation, the grammar constitutes
an invaluable gift to the speech community.
