Issue in Chinook Jargon

[Jeffrey Kopp]

A dozen mid-19th to early 20th century Jargon dictionaries may be seen on-line via http://chinookjargon.home.attbi.com/dictnote.htm

The first three (Gibbs, Phillips and Shaw) are in HTML.  The remainder are scanned page images.

A dozen articles by Duane Pasco on the Jargon's history, grammar and usage may be seen at http://tenaswawa.home.attbi.com/twtoc.htm  Also on that page are links to a 13-episode saga ("Moola John") written by Duane in Jargon alongside literal English translation.

A tutorial handbook and cassette tape by Duane are available by mail order.  See http://tenaswawa.home.attbi.com/bookstore.htm

Regards,

Jeffrey Kopp
