Chinook Jargon Phrasebook
Kahta Mamook Kopa Chinook Wawa - How to speak Chinook
English-Chinook Index:
Not all categories have fully fleshed-out English sections
yet. Linking to these will currently wind up at a copy of the Chinook-English
material for the same category.
In working on some parts of the English-Chinook sections of the phrasebook,
I have realized the divisions I have made for the Chinook-English sections
do not correlate well for an easy-to-use organization for reference from English.
Until that is figured out, I am posting a direct copy of Shaw's English-Chinook Reference
(as rendered by Edward Harper Thomas), which is in alphabetical form.
I am intending on having a CGI or Javascript translator system installed
here in the future as well.
