Abstract:

"Sonoran O'otam: A Description and Prospectus, with a Description of Ati
Piman", delineates a Piman variety closely related to the O'odham language of
southern Arizona (Akimel and Tohono dialects). Both Sonoran O'otam and O'odham
belong to the Tepiman subfamily of the Uto-Aztecan language family. Sonoran
O'otam differs from O'odham in several major ways: word order (Sonoran O'otam
has less flexible word order); tense-aspect marking (different morphosyntax);
development of phonemic tone in some varieties of Sonoran O'otam. The
tense-aspect differences show how native Tepiman resources were used to create
the auxiliary system used in O'odham for default subject marking. A variety of
short texts illustrate Sonoran O'otam in actual use, supported by a detailed
vocabulary. 

An appendix offers information on Sonoran O'otam place names. There is also a
definitive account of Ati Piman. While geographically a part of Sonora (west
coast, on the Sea of Cortez), Ati Piman is very distinct from both Sonoran
O'otam and O'odham, with extremely unusual features that separate it from all
other Tepiman languages.
