Dinjii Zhuh Ginjik Nagwan Tr'iiltsaii. (Gwich'in Junior Dictionary)

National Bilingual Materials Development Center Rural Education Affairs (University of Alaska), 1996. — 148 p.The Gwich'in language is spoken in the following villages in Alaska: Arctic Village, Birch Creek, Chalkyitsik, Circle, Fort Yukon and Venetie. This dictionary was written primarily for use in bilingual classrooms in those villages. It is by no means a complete lexicon of the Gwich'in language, but only a sampling of it. The purpose of the dictionary is to enable students to look up the Gwich'in equivalents of common conversational English words and phrases. Gwich'in speakers will be able to tell students other ways to say some of these things, but we have tried to list here the simplest and most usual words that people use to express their ideas in everyday speech. The choice of content and format is discussed further on in this Introduction.
Comments Ca. 3,000 English glosses, 5,000 forms with some repetition, including perfective and imperfective of many verbs.
