Description

About the Book

First printed in 1991, this volume is the first Mahican and English dictionary based on the Moravian variety or dialect. Mahican was an important language because the Native American tribe was in a dominant position in New England and New York in the 1700s. (Foreign Language-Dictionary)

Book Synopsis

This volume, a modern reworking of the manuscripts of Johann Jacob Schmick, is in the "Moravian" dialect of Mahican and is divided into an English-Mahican-German section and a Mahican-English section. It includes a Mahican historical phonology, with a background and explanatory description which can be used as a study of linguistic influences. This dictionary is useful for Indians of the East Coast who want to know their ancestral languages better, for Algonquianists--whether as linguists or ethnohistorians-- for Germanists, and for general readers who are interested in Schmick's era in Pennsylvania.
