Chinook Jargon - The Hidden Language of the Pacific Northwest
A fun and exciting look at the history, current status and linguistics of the Chinook Jargon pidgin. This book provides the traveler and resident alike with
a unique insight into an area where few modern explorers venture Native American
languages. As custodians of their cultures, these languages are disappearing from the
North American landscape. Two hundred ninety of the 300 indigenous languages will be
extinct within the next century unless present trends are reversed. |
