The Nakoda language-also known as Assiniboine, an Ojibwe ethnonym meaning “Stone Enemy”-is an endangered Siouan language of the Mississippi Valley branch spoken in southern Saskatchewan and northern Montana. Nakoda belongs to the Dakotan dialectal continuum, which includes Dakota, Lakota, and Stoney.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The fieldwork for this project was done between 2018 and 2020 with Elder Wilma Kennedy, one of the last fluent speakers living in Carry The Kettle, Saskatchewan. The volume brings together many valuable stories and colorful expressions as well as archaic words that do not appear in any known sources of the language. Particular care was taken to obtain the derivatives of many verbal stems, along with sentences for many of the verbs, adverbs, and other function words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e More than a list of words, this volume contains definitions and standard spellings along with a wealth of grammatical information. The dictionary contains more than 6,000 Nakoda-to-English translations, more than 3,000 English-to-Nakoda translations, and more than 1,500 sentences that will be extremely helpful for those interested in mastering the different usages of words and the various sentence patterns of the language. This dictionary of Nakoda can be used by anyone interested in learning or would like to refresh their knowledge of the language.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illistrations\u003cbr\u003e Foreword by Chief Ira McArthur\u003cbr\u003e Messages from Funders\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e A Short History of the Nakoda People\u003cbr\u003e Dialectal Situation of Nakoda\u003cbr\u003e Language Vitality\u003cbr\u003e Methodology\u003cbr\u003e Spelling System and Sound Description\u003cbr\u003e Key to Entries\u003cbr\u003e General Information\u003cbr\u003e Entries for Verbs in the Nakoda–\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Section\u003cbr\u003e Entries for Nouns in the Nakoda–\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Section\u003cbr\u003e Entries for Morphemes in the Nakoda–\u003cbr\u003eEnglish Section\u003cbr\u003e Entries in the English–\u003cbr\u003eNakoda Section\u003cbr\u003e Glossing and Class Codes\u003cbr\u003e Nakoda\/English\u003cbr\u003e English\/Nakoda\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685662126360,"sku":"9781496229724","price":53.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-concise-dictionary-of-nakoda-assiniboine-hardback-9781496229724","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
