Os dialectos romanicos ou neo-latinos na África, Ásia e América

In this scholarly essay the author turns his attention to the Romance‑derived dialects that have taken root far from Europe, tracing their evolution across Africa, Asia and the Americas. Drawing on conference papers, correspondence and early field reports, he brings together fragmented bibliographic material to sketch how Portuguese, Spanish and French have blended with local tongues, producing distinct creoles and contact varieties. The work emphasizes the linguistic, ethnological and psychological dimensions of these living languages, offering concrete examples such as the creole of Santo Antão in the Cape Verde archipelago.

The narrative remains grounded in the material available at the time of writing, noting the scarcity of previous research and the challenges of accessing rare publications. By comparing grammatical patterns and vocabularies, the author aims to uncover the underlying laws that govern the formation of these neo‑Latin dialects. Readers will come away with a clearer picture of how colonial encounters reshaped language and why these often‑overlooked speech forms deserve a place in glottological study.
