AUTHOR: Olivier Uyttebrouck, Journal Staff Writer
DULCE - Wilhelmina Phone, 72, stores an ancient treasure in her memory: a language known only to a dwindling handful of Jicarilla Apaches.
Once each month, she and two other fluent Jicarilla speakers meet in Dulce with University of New Mexico linguists to develop the first-ever Jicarilla dictionary.
Phone said she hopes the dictionary will spark new interest among Jicarillas in her beloved language. She estimates that of the 3,000 members of the Jicarilla nation, only about 1,000 speak it fluently and most are 50 or older. She acknowledges that the odds are against Jicarilla's survival.
