Abstract:

The main purpose of this dictionary is twofold. On the one hand, it
provides the scholar of African studies with a tool to identify the
possible Portuguese origin of terms present in African languages and,
on the other, it offers those who are interested in Portuguese culture
an overview of the presence of its lexicon in African languages. No
doubt the Portuguese were among the first Europeans to explore the
world outside of Europe, and as such they were also the first to
introduce that world to European concepts and words. This book is the
result of a long and detailed work on texts in African languages, as
also shown by the rich bibliography in the dictionary.
