Title: A Glossary of Lingua Franca

Authors: Bellman, Jonathan, 1957-; Corré, Alan; Brummet, Martha; Parkvall, Mikael; Rosetti, Roberto; Zago, Renate

Description: This is the fifth edition of the Lingua Franca Website. It includes some interesting materials sent to me by Mr. Mikael Parkvall of Stockholm University, including an abstract from a book by Charles Thierry-Mieg, Six semaines en Afrique [Six Weeks in Africa] Paris: J. Claye (1861) pp. 103-107, and a list of Lingua Franca words from Alexis-M. Gochet, La France coloniale illustrée [Colonial France Illustrated] Tours: A. Mame et fils (1888) pp. 74-75. I have included a facsimile of Thierry-Mieg's remarks, and translated them into English, along with comments. The lexical items from both have been incorporated into the Glossary. M. Emre Ozigci of the Turkish Embassy in Algiers has made some significant corrections to the glosses on Turkish words, and these also have been included. My thanks to both, as to the many others who have enriched previous editions.
