Kiowa Dictionary,
By
This review is from: Vocabulary Of The Kiowa Language (Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletins) (Library Binding)
This is an older dictionary, from 1924, but is detailed and thorough. The book is 255 pages long and includes English-Kiowa, Kiowa-English, pronunciation and grammar guides, and a glossed Kiowa text. The only downside is that the orthography (spelling system) which is used is very unusual and unintuitive to either English speakers or people familiar with IPA phonetics (a capital H represents the flat A sound in "cat," for example). This is not how the Kiowas write their own language, either, and it's hard to get used to. Still, there is a real wealth of information here and Kiowa language materials are not easy to come by. A Kiowa audio tape, like ISBN# 9994461796, might help make this book more useful to the general population.
