Introduction to Chizigula is a small English-Chizigula phrasebook that codifies basic words, phrases, and situational dialogues in an endangered African Bantu language. Author Stephanie Larkin met her co-author, Dadiri Nuro, in 2005, when she befriended a community of refugees (see Resettled) and began learning their language. The book is intended to strengthen the English language skills of Chizigula speakers while also helping to preserve the ancestral language of these new U.S. citizens.
