UWisc "American Languages" website

[David Robertson]

http://csumc.wisc.edu/AmericanLanguages

This is a good site.  They feature German dialects of the USA, and will 
soon have Indigenous languages and English dialects of the USA up.  

I searched their database for "CHINOOK."  Their archive contains 2 
interviews done in Raymond, Washington (Willapa Bay) in the 1960s for the 
Dictionary of American Regional English survey.  

If you select "full view," you'll find that one of the interviews contains 
a few minutes of discussion about Jargon, with examples given.  That would 
be interesting to listen to.

Some of you from Willapa Bay might have relatives who'll recognize these 
speakers' voices.
