Essai De Grammaire Douma (Haut-Ogowé, Congo-Français)
, written by Antoine Reeb and originally published in 1895, offers a detailed exploration of the Douma language spoken in the Haut-Ogowé region of the French Congo. This historical linguistic work provides invaluable insights into the grammar and structure of a relatively under-documented African language. Reeb's essay contributes significantly to the field of comparative linguistics and offers a glimpse into the linguistic diversity of the Congo region during the late 19th century.
This book is an essential resource for linguists, anthropologists, and historians interested in the study of African languages and the colonial history of French Congo. Its enduring value lies in its detailed analysis and preservation of the Douma language, making it a crucial reference for understanding the linguistic heritage of Central Africa.
