Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers a linguistic, cultural, and religious treasure hidden within the Efate language of the Oceanic-speaking peoples of the Pacific. The author, a missionary and linguist, delved into the language, grammar, and vocabulary of the Efate people to reveal its Semitic origins. The book then traces the migration of these people from Arabia across the Indian and Pacific Oceans thousands of years ago. The author traces their journey through a comparative analysis of the Oceanic languages, ultimately adding fifty million Oceanic speakers to the previously known Semitic-speaking peoples. This book shows how the Efate language and the Oceanic language group as a whole can unlock the linguistic, religious, and cultural history of these ancient peoples, providing insights into their origins and the prehistoric spread of humanity across the globe.
