Abstract:
This grammatical sketch describes Chinyanja of Tanzania, a Bantu language
(N201) spoken on the eastern shores of Lake Nyasa (also known as Lake Malawi)
on the Tanzania-Mozambique border. This previously undescribed language
belongs to a cluster of languages that includes Mang’anja and Chewa languages
spoken in Mozambique and Malawi.
After introducing the language, the sketch discusses its affiliation. One
chapter presents its phonology, and another covers the rich morphology of
nouns, pronouns, and other nominal modifiers, as well as verbs. The syntax
chapter describes grammatical relations, transitivity types, sentence types,
and the structure of complex sentences. Included also is a description of
discourse features in syntax. A narrative is provided as a sample text in the
appendix.
