Description

Explore the historical and linguistic impact of the Arabic script across the African continent with this scholarly collection from Brill. Part of the Studies in Semitic Languages and Linguistics series, this volume examines the use of Arabic script to write various African languages, a tradition often referred to as Ajami. This work provides a comprehensive look at writing traditions spanning North, West, Central, East, and South Africa. It covers examples from almost all major linguistic phyla on the continent, including a unique study on the Ajami heritage found in the Americas. By analyzing (ethno-) historical, literary, and (socio-) linguistic aspects, these sixteen papers offer deep insights into the grammatological developments of these writing systems. Whether you are a researcher in linguistics, a historian, or a student of African studies, this book serves as a vital reference for understanding how the Arabic script has been adapted and utilized to preserve and communicate diverse African languages through time.
