OUTLINES OF A NUER GRAMMAR by Fr. J. P. CRAZZOLARA makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the Nuer language (Thok Nath), a key member of the “Jii-family” (or “Western Nilotic” family) of African languages. Thok Nath is spoken as the first language of over two million South Sudanese and Ethiopian citizens as well as more than 300,000 war-displaced refugees residing in other African countries, and in Australia, Canada, Europe, UK and the USA. Unsurpassed in its analytical scope, clarity and detail, Crazzolara’s pioneering work, first published in 1933, remains essential for the long-term preservation and promotion of the Nuer language. Out-of-print and unavailable for 75 years, the book’s new 2023 edition includes a new afterword honoring the life and scholarship of the late J.P. Crazzolara composed by Fr. Christian Carlassare. Among its uniquely valuable features is the inclusion and explanation of five distinct elements of verbal inflection, including relative intonation patterns. With this essential reference work as your guide, you can begin to master both spoken and written Nuer with confidence. Native Nuer speakers may also use this book to deepen their knowledge of English. ISBN: 978987935620 (xii + 250 pp., 5.5 x 8.5 in.) US$ 20.00.
