Morpological stratification in Dinka

Dinka is a Western Nilotic language with three contrastive degrees of vowel length, two contrastive voice qualities in vowels, and three contrastive tones. Although to a large extent a monosyllabic language, Dinka has an elaborate morphology. In monosyllabic words the morphology is manifested solely...
