Description

This series contains material from east San Cristoval Island, concentrating on the language of Kahua. It includes a typed and annotated comparative vocabulary list (English-Kahua) which itself includes words, phrases, and sentences in English translated into Kahua.

The Island of Makira (formerly San Cristobal) in the Solomon Islands is the largest island of Makira/Ulawa Province. The island is located east of Guadalcanal. The largest city is Kirakira.
