Description

This series contains material from the north east coast of Guadalcanal Island, concentrating on the Longgu language. It includes a reprint of an article on Longgu vocabulary (itself including an extended comparative vocabulary list), and a reprint of an article on Longgu grammar, both by W.G. Ivens.

Guadalcanal, a 2,510 square mile (6,500 kmē) island in the Pacific Ocean and a province of the Solomon Islands, is largely a jungle. The island became the scene of the important Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II. The island contains the national capital of the Solomon Islands, Honiara.
