| Research Abstract |
To make a framework for textualization and computer processing of linguestic and ethnobotanical data of wild plants among the Bantu-speaking people of Africa, the Tembo data which the investigator had collected during his field work in Zaire, was used as the starting point, with the following results :
1) arrangement of the data and its textualization,
2) inputting of the text in a computer,
3) preparing Swahili and French translations of the text,
4) making a list of vernacular and scientific names of the plant utilized,
5) ethnographical description of the plant in question,
6) making a Bantu font for eventual desk-top publishing.
