3.0 out of 5 stars
A good grammar, not textbook,
By ksiezycowy (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Let's Speak Mohawk/Kanyen'keha Tewatati CDs & Book (Audio CD)
This is a pretty good grammar of the Mohawk language. It doesn't go into great detail, nor does it give many examples, but as a quick reference to Mohawk grammar, this book is pretty good. Although I would not recommend anyone use this book exclusively to learn Mohawk, it does make a good supplement to other texts. I would steer people interested in learning Mohawk to use 'Mohawk: A Teaching Grammar,' which is still available through the Kanien'kehá:ka Onkwawén:na Raotitióhkwa Language and Culture Center (search google for it).
Though I do recommend 'A Thousand Useful Words of Mohawk' by Maracle as a useful 'dictionary' for Mohawk. As far as the spelling system used in the two texts by Maracle, for the modern spelling system, use the 'phoentic spelling.' The 'phonetic spelling' used in the two books represents the way the language is actually written in parts of Canada and also represents how it is pronounced in a better fashion. |
