South Sea Languages V2 is a book written by Donald MacDonald in 1891. It is a collection of studies on the languages spoken in the South Sea Islands, specifically the New Hebrides. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the various languages spoken in the region, including their grammar, vocabulary, and syntax. The author, Donald MacDonald, was a Scottish missionary who spent several years living among the indigenous peoples of the South Sea Islands. He was fluent in several of the local languages and had a deep understanding of the cultural and linguistic nuances of the region. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different language spoken in the South Sea Islands. The chapters provide detailed information on the history of the language, its phonetics, and its grammatical structure. South Sea Languages V2 is an important resource for linguists, anthropologists, and historians who are interested in the languages and cultures of the South Sea Islands. It provides a valuable insight into the diversity of languages spoken in the region and the unique challenges faced by missionaries and other outsiders attempting to learn and understand these languages. Overall, South Sea Languages V2 is a fascinating and informative book that sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of the cultural and linguistic history of the South Sea Islands.Contains Tangoan-Santo, Malo, Malekula, Epi, Baki And Bierian, Tanna, And Futuna.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
