The data come from a short pilot study conducted during July and August of 2000, and a larger study taking place over two years (the Mani Documentation Project or MDP, 2004-06, and two brief returns in April 2009 and February 2010). That the Mani language will soon disappear is certain; just as certain is that this grammar will be the only one ever written.Mouton grammar library ;54.Bullom So languageGrammarEndangered Languages / Fieldwork.Indigenous Languages.Bullom So languageGrammar.496/.345Childs George Tucker661173MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791967503321A grammar of Mani3863032UNINA
