 Lang->Athabascan: Siberian language may be related to Nadene languages     
Posted on Sunday, April 06 @ 16:50:24 PDT (325 reads)



American Indian Languages




AUTHOR: George Bryson

A panel of respected linguists who met in Anchorage on Friday are hailing new research that links the Old World language of Ket, still spoken sparingly along the Yenisei River in western Siberia, and the sprawling New World family of Na-Dene languages -- a broad grouping that encompasses the many Athabascan tribes in Alaska, along with the Tlingit and Eyak people, as well as Indian populations in western Canada and the American Southwest, including the Navajo and the Apache.

American Indian Languages




AUTHOR: Borgna Brunner

About half of the states in the US got their names from Indian words. The name of Kentucky comes from an Iroquoian word (Kentahten), which means "land of tomorrow."

Connecticut's name comes from the Mohican word (Quinnehtukqut), which means "beside the long tidal river." And the word "Podunk," meant to describe a insignificant town out in the middle of nowhere, comes from a Natick Indian word meaning "swampy place."

 Lang->Wichita: Fluent speakers of the Wichita tribe down to last woman     
Posted on Sunday, December 09 @ 19:48:23 PST (859 reads)



American Indian Languages




AUTHOR: S.E. Ruckman

Oklahoma had been a state for only two decades when Doris Jean Lamar was born in 1927. Her first spoken words were not English, but an American Indian language taught to her by grandparents.

Today, Lamar is the last fluent speaker in the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes, a tribe of 2,300. Sitting in a tribal canteen that she supervises, the 80-year-old Lamar carries a language that once was spoken by thousands, then hundreds of Wichita language speakers.

 Lang->Sioux: easy to follow phonetic chart teaches Lakota language pronunciation     
Posted on Saturday, October 20 @ 18:25:05 PDT (1419 reads)



American Indian Languages




AUTHOR: David Melmer

For some people, unless they have heard a word before, its proper pronunciation can be quite difficult.

Such can be the case with languages that never had a written version but are now translated into printed form. For anyone who has studied a second language, the difficulty is learning when and how to use the correct tense, gender, verb conjugation and pronunciation.

The Lakota language - and any other American Indian language - is no different. Pronunciation, the proper use of modifiers and knowledge of sentence structure is important when it comes to saving a language that was never written. The intent is to preserve the language as close to its original form as possible.

Earl Bullhead, a Lakota educator on the Lower Brule Reservation in South Dakota, has developed a phonetics chart that is easy to follow and offers proper pronunciation.
