Sinopsis

This book presents a Dakota-English dictionary drawn from a long-running scholarly effort to document vocabulary, dialects, and publication history. It covers the Santee, Yankton, and other Dakota varieties, with notes on how the language was gathered, revised, and published over time. The work also reflects the broader project of cataloging Siouan languages and shows how orthography and notation evolved in concert with philological study.

It is a window into 19th-century language documentation and the ongoing quest to preserve Dakota words and meanings.
- Dakota vocabulary linked to its dialects, across multiple Dakota communities.
- Notes on spelling, pronunciation, and changes in notation used by linguists of the period.
- Editorial history, contributors, and the publication path that brought the dictionary to light.

The focus rests on the Dakota-English dictionary, a monumental work meticulously compiled by dedicated missionaries and scholars in the mid-19th century. It stands as a testament to their efforts to understand and preserve the Dakota language, driven by the desire to spread the Gospel and empower the Dakota people through literacy.
