Phonology and dictionary of Yavapai

This work will preserve the fundamental facts about the Yavapai language, the most evanescent of the Pai group of Yuman languages, a linguistic family which in its variety of members and geographic distribution is analagous to the Germanic family as of five centuries ago. The dissertation explores the relationship between the pattern of speech sounds and the shape of words in Yavapai. It describes the phonology, morphology, and a part of the lexicon in a format which is accessible to linguists of varied theoretical backgrounds.
