Excerpt

This monograph is the fruit oi. Thirteen years of association with the Sulu people and study of their writings. It endeavors to explain the use of the Arabic letters as they have been adapted to writing the Sulu speech — eu adaptation herein refer red to as the sulu-arabie script. It is prepared for students and not only has a copious 'index, but paragraphs have been numbered to facilitate reference, and cross-references 'are fre quently given in the text. Clearness is the primary requisite in a work of this kind and no apology is made for frequent repetitions. While it is advisable to begin with the first para graph and study the book in order, the most important informa tion has been segregated into tables, and if time presses, a study of these will give the main facts neeessany for reading purposes; but in order to write the sulu-arabie script, the fuller explana tion of the text must be studied.
