Linguist providing data and dateː Dr. Constance Kutsch Lojenga,
Old data in orthographic spellings provided by Rev. Nlandu M. Mpanzu of the former Societe Biblique du Zaire (Bible Society of Zaire), October 16, 1995. 提供资料的语言学家: Dr. Constance Kutsch Lojenga, 2007 年 12 月 30 日. |
Other comments: Lendu is spoken by approximately 750,000 speakers in Ituri province, west and northwest of Lake Albert in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lendu has a two-based system up to 16. Since it is no longer in use, there is no absolutely certainty about the system and its use. The second set was provided Rev. Nlandu M. Mpanzu of the former Bible Society of Zaire, it seems the Lendu has developed a decimal system, too. Both Lendu and Ngiti have 3 level tones: high is á, low is ǎ, mid is unmarked. |
