This book is a comprehensive and authoritative survey of the native
North American languages. These several hundred languages show
tremendous genetic and typological diversity, and offer numerous
challenges to current linguistic theory. The book includes an overview
of their special characteristics, descriptions of special styles, a
catalog of the languages that details their locations, genetic
affiliations, number of speakers, and major structural features, and
lists published material on them.

Contents:

Introduction; Part I. The Nature of the Languages: 1. Sounds and sound
patterns; 2. Words; 3. Grammatical categories; 4. Sentences;
5. Special language; Part II.Catalogue of Languages: 6. Relations
among the languages; 7. Catalogue.
