(Mendelssohn 1, p. 705 [1st edition]; Hosken, p. 97 [2nd edition]) 'The London Missionary Society having appointed Mr. Hepburn as a colleague to Mr. Mackenzie in the mission to the Bamangwato tribe, Mr. and Mrs. Hepburn and Mr. and Mrs. Mackenzie arrived in Shoshong in August 1871, and were received and welcomed by the young chiefs, Khama and Khamane. It is stated that at this period the chief of the Bechuanas, Sekhome, had deputed his authority to a native named Macheng, in order to disinherit Khama, his son and lawful heir. Macheng, prompted by Kuruman, a brother of Lobengula, determined to banish the missionaries from the country, but the troops he sent to effect his purpose defied his authority and, matters reaching a crisis, Khama, with the assistance of Sechele, drove Macheng out of the Kingdom and assumed the chief authority. Many difficulties had to be encountered, owing to the young chief's anomalous position with regard to his father Sekhome, but finally, early in the year 1875, Khama was firmly established as "undisputed chief of the Bamangwato," and a brigher day dawned "not only for his own people, but also for the missionaries and their work."' - Mendelssohn.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history, features, and variants of Hindustani, the most widely spoken modern Indo-Aryan language. Originating in 13th-century dialects and influenced by Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic, it exists in two primary literary forms: the Urdu of the Muslim elite, and the more Sanskritized Hindi, often associated with Hindu culture. Beyond these main divisions, numerous dialects, both literary and spoken, exist throughout India, each with unique characteristics.
