The Dictionary of the Chinook Jargon is a comprehensive reference guide to the Chinook Jargon language, compiled by J.K. Gill and Company and first published in 1887. The Chinook Jargon was a trade language used by Native American tribes and European settlers in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. This dictionary includes examples of how the language was used in conversation, and is compiled from all known vocabularies of the Chinook Jargon. The dictionary has been greatly improved by the addition of necessary words that had never been published before. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Pacific Northwest region, as well as linguists and scholars studying the development of trade languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
