The thesis Instrumentos Musicais nas Línguas Bantu e Herança no Português do Brasil, authored by Alzenir Mendes Martins de Menezes and published by LOT (Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics) in 2024, explores the vocabulary of musical instruments in Bantu languages and its linguistic legacy in Brazilian Portuguese. The study describes, compares, and analyzes reflexes of 5,700 lexical items identified through an extensive literature review. Data collection was primarily conducted at the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Belgium, drawing on its specialized collections of musical instruments and relevant literature. This research was further supplemented by cross-references with key musicological sources.
