"… It outlines the sound system, and the major grammatical categories such as the nominal system, the verb conjugation system, the demonstratives, the adjectives, the adverbs, the locatives, the ideophones, the tone, and the general issues of syntax. It has also some notes on the orthography (alphabet and writing rules). There are some appendices as well that provide various notes on sound variations within iKalanga languages’ varieties, the tone, and other grammatical issues and therein described … I therefore take this opportune occasion to congratulate Dr. Andy Chebanne and Reverend Daniel Schmidt for this pioneering work. They have laid a ground work for other linguistic and literary developments in iKalanga and I should hope that other Bakalanga are busy doing their bit out there." Prof. Joyce Mathangwane
