George Percival Bargery
George Percival Bargery (1876 – 1966) was an English missionary and linguist from Exeter, Devon.
Bargery was with the Church Missionary Society and then the ColonialEducation Service. He published a Hausa-English Dictionary in 1934 that remains widely referenced and is available in several online versions. According to the School of Oriental and African Studies Library in London, where Bargery's collected papers are on deposit, his Hausa-English dictionary contained "the first tonal analysis of the Hausa language".[1]
