Host:avatar

Hadza is a language rich in lexical loans from many different languages. The study of the Hadza language is still in many ways in its infancy. This talk provides a brief introduction to loanwords in Hadza which can either be traced to Bantu languages, or which otherwise seem to be Bantu in origin.

Note: This talk has not gone through a process of peer review, and findings should therefore be treated as preliminary and subject to change.
