As one of the many dialects of the Bantu family of speech, Lenje offers an opportunity to explore a language with a grammar system common to many African languages and to trace its similarities and differences to other dialects. The author masterfully breaks down Lenje into its component parts. This includes explaining how to use the parts of speech, how they fit together, and how these components compare to other Bantu dialects. The text is enriched by vocabulary that will provide a foundation for a budding Lenje speaker and includes examples of the spoken word to help bring the lessons to life. With practice, one can achieve a basic grasp of the language. The insights presented in this book are a significant contribution to the study of the Bantu language family and are a key tool for those interested in learning Lenje.
