Somali reference grammar

A concise reference grammar of Standard Somali for English speakers; the grammar has a strong emphasis on morphology and, to a lesser extent, syntax. The brief description of the sounds of Somali assumes that the reader has, or will have, access to native speakers to illustrate the sounds. There are ten chapters: 1. Introduction; 2. Sounds and orthography; 3. Verbs; 4. Nouns and simple noun phrases; 5. Adjectives; 6. Prepositions; 7. Simple sentences; 8. Subordinate clauses; 9. Coordination; 10. Time expressions
