The language of the Sangleys : a Chinese vernacular in missionary sources of the seventeenth century / by Henning Klöter.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [381]-401) and index.

"Handwritten in the seventeenth century, the Arte de la lengua chio chiu is the oldest extant grammar of the Chinese vernacular known as Southern Min or Hokkien, and a spectacular source text for present-day linguistics. Its author, a Spanish Dominican missionary, worked among the Chinese settlers in Manila or "Sangleys". The first part of The Language of the Sangleys is an in-depth analysis of the Arte in its historical, social and linguistic contexts.
