Ikt Chinook WawaBook

A Chinook Jargon Phrasebook & Primer

The vocabularies offered here are a compilation of several sources, and so incorporate words used in different regions and dialects that may not have been used in all parts of the Chinook-speaking world.  This reference index is found at the end of all pages in this phrasebook.  The Chinook-English Index accesses the page described via the section where listing is by Chinook words first; the English-Chinook Index accesses the same pages where English words are listed first.  For a straight English-Chinook glossary please select the English-Chinook Reference.   I have not yet built a full Chinook-English glossary, but one will eventually be added to these pages.
