Sketch of Mingo Grammar
The goal of this sketch is to provide some insight into the workings of Mingo grammar for people who are interested in the language.  It is not intended as a textbook, per se, although students of the language will hopefully get some benefit from it as a reference tool.  It is very much a work in progress, and quite incomplete at present.
