Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of a Grammar of the Vei Language: Together With a Vei-English Vocabulary and an Account of the Discovery and Nature of the Vei Mode of Syllabic Writing
The territory over which the Vei language is spoken is small, its most northern part being what has been called the Gallinas, and its southern boundary, Half Cape Mount, being about a day's walk to the south of Grand Cape Mount, and stretching not farther inland than two days' journey, or about forty or fifty miles. At the Gallinas, according to information received there, the Vei terri tory did not extend farther inland than fifteen or twenty miles, till about twenty years ago, when the chiefs were instigated by Spa nish slave-traders to give it its present extent. To the north the Vei language is bordered on by the Kirim language, from which it is entirely different; and to the south by the relics of the Dewoi' language, with which also it has no particular affinity, and by the English of the Republic of Liberia.
