Pronoun Paradigm: Mbugu (Inner Dialect)
Paradigm Details:
Language: (mhd) Mbugu (Inner Dialect).
Family:
System Type: F
Source: Mous (2003).
Comment: Inner Mbugu does not differ grammatically from Normal Mbugu but does contain much 'deviant' lexical material of partly Southern Cushitic origin (Mous 2003:1). Mous (2003:1) thus describes Inner Mbugu as a 'parasite of Normal Mbugu'. Please note, it is unclear in Mous (2003) if the object pronouns listed actually serve this function and as such this part of the paradigm is subject to further revision. Description of non-human pronouns (if there are any) frustratingly absent, though the 3sg given is glossed only as he/she. (-Owen)
