About Chinook Jargon, in Finnish
In 2014, Tommi Tienpää published an article, “Chinook-Jargon: Kauppakielen Juuret ja Historia”…
That’s “Chinook Jargon: Roots and History of a Trade Language”. It’s in Kajo’: Lehti Amerikan Alkuperäiskansoista #2 (Kajo’: Magazine about Native American Peoples), pages 18-21.
I don’t know Finnish without Google Translate helping me, but I can tell you the titles of the sections in the article:
- Nootka Jargon
- Pidgin Chinook
- Pulakli Ilehi — Pimeyden Maa
- Chiy Ilehi — Uusi Maa
- Kirjallisuutta [Bibliography]
It’s a lavishly illustrated piece, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as a general introduction to Chinuk Wawa if you can read it!
“New Land”. That’s where my Finnish ends, though.

I hear you. I was able to spot “uusi” as cognate with Hungarian “új”, then ran out of ideas!
