• "This book is the outcome of the first international conference on the Nuba Mountain languages, held in Leiden, September 2-4, 2011. It contains 32 original contributions and constitutes an important leap forward in the linguistic exploration of this complex area. Additional papers not presented were commissioned to provide a more complete overview of the area, thereby contributing to pioneer studies of previously poorly researched languages"--Page [1].
