You may know that the word tarzan means white skin in Mangani. Tarzan is the only human being able to speak the language of the Great Apes...until now. You, too, can learn to speak like a Mangani. Whatsits Galore presents here a dictionary of Mangani words, direct from the novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, which will prove beneficial to linguists and anyone else who may find himself in the jungles of Africa any time in the future.
