The first part of this review covered the growth of African language studies in the United Kingdom from 1895 to 1970, by which time the Department of the Languages and Cultures of Africa at SOAS (Department of Africa) represented the largest group of African language specialists in the world. This expansion had been due in large part to the recommendations of the Scarbrough Commission in 1947, although that same commission was also responsible for the confinement of African language studies to a single British institution. The Scarbrough request for a regular review of Oriental and African studies has been disregarded by successive governments, and even the solitary Hayter review, undertaken in 1961 by the UGC, largely ignored the field of African language studies (apart from an unfulfilled request that they be pursued at Oxford as well as at SOAS).
