SKETCH, ETC- PUBLISHED BY IvOWMAN & HANFORD STATIONERY & PRINTING CO., SEATTLE, WASH. 38>>VXf 5 V\ /<2 -^' .MN 26 '56 ■'•56 PREFACE. The origin of the Chinook language perhaps never can be accurately ascertained. Probably no one man could claim the honor. It simply grew. Spanish and English navigators tiaded about Nootka Sound between 1785 and 1800; then and there first formulated and began mainly with a few Nootka, English and vSpanish words. The head- quarters of the traders were soon after transferred to the Columbia River, near the mouth. The lan_ guage thus begun was readily used; so that lyewis and Clark's expedition, in 1805, found a little of it in use there. With the coming of Astor's party in 181 1 , and subsequently, the language topk definite form, and received many additions from the Chin- ook, Chehalis and other tribes in that region. The principal and largest tribe being the Chinook, and their home or nation was in a southwesterly direc- tion from the trading post and the white settlers' headquarters, consequently the name "Chinook;" also Chinook Winds— as southwesterly from the direction of the Chinook nation or home. The words are used quite frequently by the people of this Northwest — "The Chinook Winds" warm and coming from the southwest. While more English and French words were added, it is, however, still changing — has done so in the last thirty years 194683 on the Sound. The Spanish words, or a larger portion, have been supplanted by English and French ones. The necessity of a jargon or lan- guage for the early trader with the numerous tribes from Vancouver Island, north up the coast, and in transfering and spreading their business through what is now Oregon and Washington, be- came manifest to successfully barter with them. The tribes were more numerous and each having a dialect of their own, caused the formulation of the Chinook language and the improvement upon the same as before stated. There were over one hun- dred tribes in Washington alone, and no doubt Oregon had as many; also British Columbia and Alaska each as many. The last census, however, shows but about fifty tribes in the State of Wash- ington and many ot them but a few representa- tives — over one-half have become extinct. •i SUGGESTIONS. The Chinook jargon can be more readily learned l)y first briefly studying the Dictionary and then converse with Indians. Their peculiar guteral articulations is beyond the power of our alphabet to apply any given rules, and scarcely any gram- matical rules can be applied. a larger lisli and 1 or Jaii- iumerous le coast, business ^ton, be- h them, having a )u of the ipon the ne hun- o doubt bia and owever, f Wash- resenta- learned d then guteral phabet ' gram- '«!■ TO PROSfKHTioj ^—As ill rather ; a ^— As in mat. ^ — As in tli/'v . ^ ^^^O , e as ni met. ^--As in machine • / oc ;„ r- *- .
