  khanawi-Laksta, 

   

  As always, when we speak about this topic, I send my apologies for not finishing our dictionary and grammar of Grand Ronde Chinuk Wawa faster.  I would remind people though that our virtual gallery (linked below) has access to some good original materials that reflect the language as spoke in Grand Ronde.  As an update, we are getting closer to publication of our dictionary, and have made a decision to include a number of other good local sources of the language in the overall project.  One of these, the work of Demers, Blanchet and St. Onge, deserves a closer look by folks interested in indigenous pronunciation.  Henry, or someone else on the list, may want to comment on the character set used in their work to help with pronunciation.

  James,

   

  A good print source, for me at least, is Melville Jacobs'

  "Texts in Chinook Jargon" as the phonetic transcriptions 

  come from native (Indian) speakers of different areas

  in the PNW.
