A model of identification has been set up principally by applying Guthrie's comparative techniques and results to Matengo (N13), a Bantu language spoken in Southern Tanzania, After a background description to the languages involved here and a brief treatment of some of the theories generally held on Lexical Borrowing, in which Swahili loans of non-Bantu provenance have mostly been employed, regular and irregular (skewed) reflexes of Common Bantu ’starred' forms in Matengo have been abstracted, and the skewed reflexes examined to determine whether or not the forms involved are loan suspects.

  • The Classification of the Bantu Languages of Tanzania
    i lIMFORIVIATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document h^i(^|eeh used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the qriginal submitted. ■ The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Mining Page(s)". IfJt was'possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are^spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you'complete continuity. 2. When an.image.on the film is obliterated with li large round black mark, it . is an if}dication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during, exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing' or chart, etc., was part of the material being V- photographed the photographer ' followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to .continue photoing fronTleft to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued, again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until . complete. " - 4. The majority of usefs indicate that the textual content is, of greatest value, ■however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from .'"photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

This system is a two-year rotation that includes a short-term grassland fallow. The field lies fallow without cultivation during the early rainy season at the first year. The grasses are cut down and the dry shoots are gathered up in lines forming a grid on the field that is then covered with topsoil in a square. The ridges form the grid, thereby producing many well-ordered pits over the whole field. The pit can function as a buffer and controls run-off by allowing rainwater to stand. Although the pit may break if the precipitation of an intense rain is beyond the capacity of buffer, the ridges are protected con- sistently because the water in pit can be efficiently led downward along the buried shoot bun- dles in the soil. At the beginning of the next rainy season, maize is sown on the ridges.

Zulehner II ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to his Excellency retired Bishop Dr. Emmanuel A. Mapunda who accorded me an opportunity to further my studies in Austria. His fatherly and calm reassurance to this endeavour gave much support needed to complete my studies. I am grateful to Rev. Dr. Charles Kitima the Vice Chancellor of St. Augustine University of Tanzania (Mwanza), for granting me a study leave in order to pursue studies abroad. This Dissertation could not have seen the light of the day without an accomplished guidance of Prof. em . DDR. Paul M. Zulehner my moderator. I register my heartfelt gratitude to him. I have benefited enormously from his insights and the wide scope to which he opened for this work. In the same way I thank my second moderator Prof. Dr. Martin Jäggle, for his astute observations and helpful suggestions a result of careful reading of the chapters despite his many assignments as Dean of the Faculty of Theology. I offer special thanks to the Archdiocese of Vienna for sponsoring my studies. I would like to appreciate the assistance and cooperation I received from Dr. Johannes Gönner the Rector of the Afro-Asiatic Catholic Community and to Mag.

Key words: taxonomy, catfish, Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Democratic Re- public of the Congo Introduction The African catfish genus Amphilius is the most diverse and widely distributed genus in the family Amphilliidae. As currently recognized the genus includes 29 species distributed throughout Low Africa (northern and western Africa in which most of the land is at elevations between 500 and 1000 meters) and High Africa (southern and eastern Africa in which most of the land is at elevations well above 1000 meters (much above 4000 meters).
