———————
This book is about the origin of the Nzemas, the
_ Nzema Language itself, how it was developed, changes
that have taken piace so far in the Language, how the
Language was reduced to writing, the formation of
the Nzema Literature and Cultural Association in 1933,
and titles of books that have been written since the
Language was reduced to writing. In other words,
the book treats the History of the Nzema Language.
