Abstract:
The Shanga dictionary, with English finderlist, was compiled in Nigeria over a
seven year period while doing Bible translation. It forms a trilogy together
with the simultaneously published Illo-Busa and Kyanga dictionaries. This
cluster of languages belongs to the Eastern sub-division of the Mande language
family. Dictionaries of the other three languages of this cluster, Boko,
Bokobaru and Busa/Bisã, also compiled by the author, were published in 2004
by Lincom Europa.
The database is stem based so that any word that begins with a lexeme stem
will appear as a sub-entry under that lexeme. The 5000+ head and subwords are
written in Shanga orthography, followed by phonetic representations, including
tones, a part of speech label and glosses in English.
Borrowed words, etymology, synonyms and variants are given as appropriate,
with extensive borrowings from Hausa and English. Shanga is a break-away from
Kyanga but exhibits extensive variation. The 48 page introduction includes an
historical survey and a summary of Shanga phonology and grammar. The author’s
PhD thesis, the Boko/Busa Language Cluster, describing the grammar of Boko,
Bokobaru and Bisã, was published by Lincom Europa in 1998.
