Free download! “Thompson River Salish Dictionary”
Thanks to “Lyttonites” on Facebook.
The “Thompson River Salish Dictionary” by Thompson & Thompson is freely downloadable at UBC’s library site.
It’s an enormous download, so even with a decent connection it may take a while.
But it’s worth it.
There’s a pretty good amount of Northern Chinook Jargon in there, if you figure out how to look for it — for example, the evidence that there was a CJ phrase ti-man for the railroad employee who brought drinks during your work shift.
And you’ll also get an idea what southern interior BC’s Nɬeʔképmx Salish language is like.
