AFLANG (Roman char. Edition)

THANK YOU for Visiting AFLANG Site

AFLANG is a working group of students and researchers who have keen interest in African Languages.

As everybody knows well, African languages show the most wild differentiation and the most complicated geographical distribution in this world. AFLANG looks into this linguistic chaos, and tries to find some reasonable law and order underlying it (if any).

Interesting but somehow neglected fields such as surrogate languages, sign languages, the function of music/dance and wordplays are in AFLANG's favourite domain.

Web Journal

AFLANG publishes, electronically, a few academic articles which will surely play havoc with the paper market at Luo-Yang City of He-Nan Province.....

well, this bilingual pun lost the kick somehow in English, forget it! ....

Actually, we have been forced to do this. Because the gigantic storeroom of AA-Ken is completely full, more than full rather, with those precious academic publications nobody want to accept.

This is a real hazard. AA-Ken building might collapse in any minutes with this heavy burden. So, we go electronic willy-nilly.

You are absolutely free to download any of the articles. But, when you cited them, please drop an e-mail to the author and AFLANG.

Anyways, AFLANG's WEB Journal presents:
