Chinook Jargon is a pidgin, consisting mainly of words drawn the Chinook
language, with a large admixture of words from Nootka, Canadian French =
and
and English, that was used widely throughtout the Pacific Northwest =
during
the nineteenth century.  Chinook Jargon has a core vocabulary of only =
about
350 words, which are combined with great versatility.

There has been something of a renaissance of interest in the Jargon in
recent years in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon, and now there is
a new e-mail list catering to this interest.  You can join by writing to
