NOGUEIRA (Rodrigo de Sá). DICIONÁRIO Ronga-Português. Lisboa. 1960. - NOGUEIRA (Rodrigo de Sá) DICIONÁRIO Ronga-Português . Lisboa: Junta de Investigações do Ultramar — Centro de Estudos Políticos e Sociais, 1960. XXII, 644 pp.; 250 mm. Dictionary of the Ronga language - also known as Landim or Xilandim -, a Bantu language spoken in the southernmost region of Mozambique, in the area and district of Maputo. The author inscribed his work within a line of research initiated by missionaries and philologists who preceded him – Junod, Benoit, Berthoud, Torre do Vale, Farinha and Quintão – explicitly assuming the purpose of expanding and consolidating this path. The adopted plan is distinguished by the systematic recording of plural forms of nouns and noun phrases at the beginning of each entry, contrary to the common practice in dictionaries of Bantu languages, making the reference work more intuitive for the non-specialist user.
