Description

The author outlines a practical orthography for Kwakw’ala, the language spoken by the Kwagulh (Kwakiutl), of coastal British Columbia. In the first section he describes its use with a progression from the most familiar phonemes and symbols to the least while the second offers a functional exemplification in the form of cross-indexed Kwakw’ala-English (approximately 4,000 entries) and English-Kwakw’ala (about 12,000 entries) dictionaries.
