Description
One of four North Wakashan languages, Heiltsuk is spoken in the villages of Bella Bella and Klemtu on the British Columbia coast. This two-volume wet offers a grammatical introduction to Heiltsuk which relates the orthography to the phonetics and phonemics, outlines the morphology and syntax, and contains an approximately 9,500 entry dictionary which, in selected instances, indicates grammatical derivatives and/or examples of use as well as English glosses.
