Description:
This document is intended to be a very basic reference to the common morphosyntactic structures of Kabwa. Though we hope that other linguists will be able to make use of it, its primary purpose is to help non-linguists (who have at least a small amount of linguistic training) who are working with the language, e.g. literacy workers, translators, translation consultants, spell-checkers, etc. For this reason, unless otherwise noted, data is written in the Kabwa orthography, with the aim that it is more accessible to our intended audience.
