Lakota Dakota Language - English-Sioux Dictionary NEW
Paul War Cloud - "War Cloud notes in the forward: "Although most dictionaries are designed for those who already have a considerable command of the language, this dictionary can be used with advantage by people who do not speak Dakotah or Lakota at all." One of the most popular Sioux Indian dictionaries in the United States and abroad, developed for beginners interested in the Sioux language by artist and author Paul War Cloud
Over 4000 Words` Pronunciation-at-a-Glance. Both Dakotah and Lakotah (Sioux) words are respelled in the closest approximation to the most common values of English vowels and consonants. The dictionary lists the English word first then Dakota/Sioux which is Sante-Yankton dialect and Lakota/Sioux beside it which is the Teton Sioux dialect.
The stressed syllable is printed in CAPITALS. This is very important, as two words maybe spelled the same yet mean something entirely different due to stressing different syllables. For example: TAH-pah means ball. However, tah-PAH means cow-buffalo or head. by Paul War Cloud, Native American Author - 189 pp., 5 1/2x8 1/2, paperback.
