Hey there all<br>
<br>
The local aborignal language has integrated some French words such as leputay
for bottle and nkli for key and lasel for salt.<br>
<br>
The suffix -men is some uses very clearly a borrowing from english (local
St'at'imc word for American was bostonman and ts'inamen being a chinese person
(sp on both)) <br>
<br>
But at the same time I have found there are some words that are oddly close
to German, but clearly not borrowed (I am a native German speaker)<br>
<br>
In the one St'at'imc community of Ts'kw'aylaxw, there are certain words people
consider 'indian' but at are CJ - best example I know is mowich for deer
(the St'at'imc word being Ni(sp?))<br>
<br>
yours<br>
