Somali

Au sein du continent africain marqué par la diversité ethnique et religieuse, la Somalie apparaît comme un pays exceptionnellement homogène : totalement musulman, sa langue nationale, le Somali, est partout comprise malgré l'existence inévitable de dialectes.

Peoples of the Horn of Africa: Somali, Afar & Saho, this is Ioan Lewis's landmark ethnographic study of the peoples of the Horn of Africa.

This book, one of the few English language publications on indigenous languages spoken in East Africa, highlights theoretical contributions on understudied East Cushitic languages, based on extensive data. It introduces readers to important fields such as the OT phonology and morphology of Dhaasanac and discusses the syntax of negation, semantics of focus, negation and context shift.
