Excerpt from The Masai Language: Grammatical Notes Together With a Vocabulary

The following small work on the Masai language was compiled by me during two years spent among the Masai people. What I learnt was learnt directly from the Masai, and with no middleman in the way of Swahili or other native interpreters. My excuse for undertaking a work of this description, without the special philological qualifi cations, is that I could converse freely with, and be fully understood by, any Masai; and that I could also well under stand any Masai either talking to me or among themselves.
