I see that Clement Martyn Doke is in with the "M"s at List of linguists. Is this correct? Was "Martyn Doke" his surname? Google throws up lots of references to him as "Doke, CM", but that's not very strong evidence of anything, of course. -- Oliver P. 03:05 15 Jun 2003 (UTC)

No, his surname was "Doke". He was an interesting linguist, having devised some rather nice phonetic symbols for Khoisan and Bantu click consonants. Evertype 22:01, 2004 Jul 28 (UTC)

This article needs a picture! — mark ✎ 07:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A picture of what? Evertype 10:33, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A portrait. I know, {{sofixit}} and all, but I thought maybe someone could be pushed to look for a nice picture. — mark ✎ 11:09, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am a grandson of Clement Martyn Doke. He passed away in the early 1980s when I was about 13 years old. My grandfather was a phenomenal man and achieved much in his life. He is till known in South Africa as "the father of African linguistics"

And rightly so! He was a very able and interesting linguist indeed.

By the way, may I ask if you see a possibility to provide us with a picture of your grandfather? — mark ✎ 09:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
