An annotated bibliography of the languages of the Gilbert Islands, Ellice Islands, and Nauru

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "The Gilbert Islands, Ellice Islands and the solitary island of Nauru, are usually dealt with together in various studies. The reason for this is their geographical proximity, the somewhat related missionary development on the Islands, and in the case of the Gilberts and the Ellice Islands their administrative unity in the framework of the colony of Gilbert and Ellice Islands."

    "The indigenous inhabitants of the Gilberts, of Ellice Islands and Nauru however speak different languages. For this reason this volume contains three separate bibliographies."--intro
