Abstract:

Lowland Chontal is an endangered language of southeastern Mexico. It is one of
two surviving sisters of Oaxaca Chontal, an unclassified language family with
proposed links to the California linguistic area. The language is spoken
fluently by fewer than 100 elders along the coastal plain of the Mexican state
of Oaxaca. Many more people speak Lowland Chontal with varying degrees of
proficiency and as a second language.

This trilingual dictionary is based primarily on the author’s years of
fieldwork in San Pedro Huamelula and surrounding areas. The target audience
includes Chontal learners and educators as well as academic linguistics.
Introductory prefaces in English and Spanish orient the user to basic sounds
and grammatical patterns in the language, with links to online materials, and
glossaries from English and Spanish are provided. Dictionary entries include
cross-references between related words and copious example sentences from
field recordings. An interactive version of the dictionary on CD (included
with the print volume) permits sorting and access through multiple fields,
automatic jumping between searchable terms in entries and example sentences,
and the ability to print vocabulary alphabetically or by semantic domain.

The author has various publications on this language and is curator of the
Lowland Chontal digital archive in the DoBeS corpus.
