Synopsis
A landmark window into the Dakota language, in a historically important dictionary.
This book presents a Dakota-English dictionary drawn from a long-running scholarly effort to document vocabulary, dialects, and publication history. It covers the Santee, Yankton, and other Dakota varieties, with notes on how the language was gathered, revised, and published over time. The work also reflects the broader project of cataloging Siouan languages and shows how orthography and notation evolved in concert with philological study.
Readers will encounter linguistic entries, details about editors and translators, and context about how this edition came to be through collaboration with institutions and scholars of the era. It is a window into 19th-century language documentation and the ongoing quest to preserve Dakota words and meanings.
- Dakota vocabulary linked to its dialects, across multiple Dakota communities.
- Notes on spelling, pronunciation, and changes in notation used by linguists of the period.
- Editorial history, contributors, and the publication path that brought the dictionary to light.
- Context within Smithsonian and scholarly efforts to record North American languages.
Ideal for readers of linguistic history, historical dictionaries, and Dakota language studies, or anyone exploring the legacy of 19th-century language documentation.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The focus rests on the Dakota-English dictionary, a monumental work meticulously compiled by dedicated missionaries and scholars in the mid-19th century. It stands as a testament to their efforts to understand and preserve the Dakota language, driven by the desire to spread the Gospel and empower the Dakota people through literacy.
