Goemai is spoken in a language contact area, and this contact has shaped Goemai grammar to the extent that it can be considered a fairly untypical Chadic language. The grammar presents the structure of the present-day language, relates it to its diachronic sources, and adds a semantic perspective to the description.Mouton grammar library ;51.Goemai languageGrammarGrammars.Language Contact.Language Typology.Goemai languageGrammar.493/.72EP 13511rvkHellwig Birgit1970-693366MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788551803321A grammar of Goemai3676399UNINA
