Description

Learn Mountain Maidu in 12 lessons. The Fish-head version is written in a unique orthography, which involves the special fish-head character. There is another version of this book in a more universal/standard orthography, which might be more appropriate for linguists. These two versions are exactly the same except for orthography. Each lesson has a set of vocabulary words, explanation of grammatical elements, exercises, and answers. The glossary at the end includes the vocabulary from the lessons. The lessons start with simple sentences in the “today” verb tense, and advance through asking questions, commands and exhortations, derivation, pronouns, past and future verb tenses, complex sentences, and expressing possibility. This is a book for everyday people wanting to revive the language, as well as linguists interested in language structure. The grammar is based on William Shipley’s collection of Texts (1963) as well as the teachings of native speaker Farrell Yatam Cunningham.
