Note 78 — Chapter XXXVI · MY RECEPTION IN YÓLA.—SHORT STAY.—DISMISSAL.
Reading edition
The termination nchí is nothing but the Sónghay word ki, which in several dialects is pronounced as chí, and means “language.” On account of this termination being added to the original name, I have purposely not marked the accents in this list. The languages thus marked are spoken only partly in Ádamáwa, the tribes to whom they are peculiar being for the greatest part independent.
