dc.description.abstractThis paper addresses the following linguistic/ethnohistorical question: Is Gwandara an independent millennium-old sister language of Hausa, as implied by most Chadic language classifications, or is it, as suggested by oral history, a relatively recent offshoot of Hausa that has undergone massive, contact-induced change? In other words, is the relationship of Gwandara to Hausa comparable to that of Frisian and English or to that of Krio and English? A key to the solution of the problem lies in the comparative analysis of the tonal systems of the two languages.en
