📖 Description
As a rule, no long explanation is needed to make clear why a scientific traveller, an official, a business man, or a missionary should seek to acquire the languages of primitive peoples in our colonies overseas. All the world over, the first requisite for any one who has to deal with men is ability to communicate with them. When, therefore, a primitive people understands no European language the only course open to theE uropean desirous of opening up intercourse with it is to learn its language. Later on I intend to discuss the practical importance attaching to the acquisition of primitive languages in some detail, because it is not even yet adequately recognised. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
