Role: Author
Publication of the Smithsonian Institution

In this important publication by the Smithsonian Institution, Miles Beckwith offers a companion volume to the editions of Ira D. Blanchard’s books that document the Southern Unami dialect of the Delaware language as spoken in the years from 1834 to 1842. This work is designed to be used with A Grammar of Southern Unami Delaware. The glossary includes virtually all the words from Blanchard’s texts. For each word, a representative sample of forms is given with definitions, grammatical information, and text locations, as well as references to other sources on the Delaware language.
