Alternate title:  Comparative grammar of some Algonquian languages : an outline : Ojibway, Cree, Micmac, Natick [Massachusett], and Blackfoot Algonquian languages : an outline for a comparative grammar : Ojibway, Cree, Micmac, Natick [Massachusett], and Blackfoot Description:  124 pages ; 23 cm. 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eliminating the need for expensive printed revisions and any chance that a copy of this book would be considered outdated because of a newer revised edition.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. Other authors:  Snider, Joshua Jacob.
