Tanacross Learners' Dictionary
PRELIMINARY VERSION
compiled by
Irene Solomon Arnold, Gary Holton, and Rick Thoman
The Tanacross Learner's Dictionary is intended as a reference for anyone wanting to learn the spoken language. Words are organized by English headword. The subject matter and the level of complexity are varied enough to make the dictionary a useful resource for a wide range of users: from people who know nothing of the language to people know some words and phrases or have heard the language being spoken by their parents or grandparents.
The Tanacross Learner's Dictionary is a community based project. Many of the Tanacross words and example sentences include audio recordings which illustrate pronuncation. However, some of words included here may be pronounced differently by different speakers, and there is often more than one way to say something. Some of these differences are included in the dictionary, but vocabulary in the dictionary should not be considered to be the only correct way to say something.
This dictionary is very much a work-in-progress. We welcome comments, corrections, suggestions. Revisions will be incorporated into the online version as soon as possible and will eventually be incorporated into the final printed version. All contribtions will be gratefuly acknowledged. The authors can be contacted via gary.holton [@] uaf.edu.
A printed version of this dictionary can be obtained from the Alaska Native Language Center. UPDATE: The print version of the dictionary is currently in press and will be available in March 2009.
