Description

Daphne Barlatt Pratt presents a collection of Krio folktales, poems, proverbs and other features of the language, along with a teaching manual to help readers learn and write Sierra Leone Krio. This publication is based on the standardised orthography recognised by Sierra Leone's Ministry of Education since 1984. The Krio language has undergone significant development in recent years, with the introduction of a standardised orthography and the publication of dictionaries, textbooks and Bibles in the language. However, for much of its history, Krio was primarily spoken and not written down. This book aims to bridge this gap by providing a guide to reading and writing Krio for those who already understand and speak the language. By using the approved standardised Krio orthography, readers can learn to write in a consistent and uniform way, maintaining the integrity of the language. The book is designed to be useful for anyone interested in learning and using Krio, from beginners to those looking to refine their skills.
