Notes:
Based on the work originally published in Dutch: Amsterdam : Johannes Müller, 1910.
Note from the translator: "It has come to my attention that an article written by C. C. Uhlenbeck one year after he wrote this piece, contained a page of corrections to the
Blackfoot
that is represented in this book. One can find this material if they visit my blog at http://mundartpress.wordpress.com/2013/10/02/outline-for-a-comparativ/ I have put the text of Uhlenbeck's corrections there, citing the source essay and keying it [page and line] to this translation. I have also taken this opportunity to include a few corrections to my text. I urge any owner of this book to make a double sided insert out of the updated material and slide it into their copy. I intend to maintain and update this info online as needed and to keep this first and only edition available indefinitely, eliminating the need for expensive printed revisions and any chance that a copy of this book would be considered outdated because of a newer revised edition. Thank you for your interest in the indigenous
languages
of North America"--Joshua Jacob Snider.
Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
This is a translation of a
comparative
grammar
of five
Algonquian
Native American
languages
first published in Dutch in 1910. Although too short to represent a comprehensive
grammar
of these
languages
, it treats most parts of speech and is a good solid introduction to many of the major important morphological features of this family and the
languages
treated. It has been expanded, corrected and improved in the form of translators notes based on much more recent and complete material. It also includes many bibliographical resources for most of the
Algonquian
language family, which are geared towards
comparative
language learning methods. The two most widely spoken
languages
of this group,
Ojibway
(frequently spelled Chippewa, Ojibwa or Ojibwe) and
Cree
, are both examples of the close knit Central
Algonquian
group, while
Micmac
(also spelled Mi'kmaq and Mi'gmaw) and the extinct
Natick
belong to the Eastern group. The western
Blackfoot
is usually placed with the Plains
Algonquian
group, but it is the most divergent member of the entire family and has roughly as many speakers as
Micmac
. The translator, Joshua Jacob Snider, was born in Petoskey, Michigan in 1978. He grew up with his maternal half sister whose father is half Missinabie
Cree
First Nation and half Green River
Ojibway
. He has studied the
Algonquian
, Semitic, and Balto-Slavic language families for
some
time. He lives in Petoskey, Michigan.
