5.0 out of 5 stars
Two books in one, November 30, 2004
This review is from: Sm'Algyax: A Reference Dictionary and Grammar for the Coast Tsimshian Language (Paperback)
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this quality dictionary also includes an extensive Tsimshian reference grammar (80 pages long)! Very, very useful given the grammatical complexity of the language. There is no English-Sm'algyax dictionary, but there is an easy-to-use index that directs you to the pages in the Sm'algyax-English section covering each English word. A good find.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Tough to use, invaluable to have, July 17, 2004
This review is from: Sm'Algyax: A Reference Dictionary and Grammar for the Coast Tsimshian Language (Paperback)
The pronunciations are tough to learn for those of us who aren't linguists. I use this to try to remember words I learned as a kid growing up in Metlakatla, AK and also to learn new words. It's priceless to have as a reference but requires a whole lot of worthwhile effort.
