    Extractions: The Native Americans of Western Oregon lived in a region of incredible linguistic diversity. In only a few other areas of the world - New Guinea, the Caucasus, Northern California - were so many tongues spoken in such a small area. In this complex region of mountains, bays and valleys, 17 languages were spoken, some as different as English from Japanese. This chart summarizes the languages of Western Oregon around 1700. In many cases, dialects are not exactly known, and the classification of many dialects and languages is still a matter of some dispute. Dialects often varied slightly from village to village, forming an intergrading dialect chain - for example, along the Lower Columbia River. In many places, especially at linguistic borders, villages were bilingual or even trilingual, and trade languages were also used to bridge communication gaps. Languages and dialects are listed north-to-south, except for west-to-east along the Columbia River.

    Article on the synthesis of linguistic and genetic data with particular reference to Joseph Greenberg s Amerind theory.  
    http://www.unl.edu/rhames/courses/greenberg.htm
    
    Extractions: Six years ago, D. Andrew Merriwether was a master's student in the lab of geneticist Douglas Wallace at Emory University in Atlanta, learning to use genes to trace the ancestry of native American peoples. When he left to pursue doctoral studies at the University of Pittsburgh, Merriwether continued that research, expecting to bolster the conclusion coming from the Wallace lab: that genetically distinct groups of prehistoric people migrated to the Americas in three separate waves. But this year, Merriwether found himself publicly contradicting his mentor, in a series of papers suggesting that there was only a single migration. Although they remain personally friendly, mentor and student clearly are divided on this issue. Says Merriwether, now at the University of Michigan: "I feel badly about it because Wallace is the one who inspired me to go into this field. It's awkward." Chalk up one more disagreement to one of the most contentious issues in human prehistory: the question of who settled the Americas. A decade ago, intellectual battles raged over a bold synthesis of linguistic, genetic, and dental data named after co-creator Joseph Greenberg, a Stanford University linguist. The Greenberg theory suggested that the first Americans arrived from Asia in at least three separate waves, each wave giving rise to one of three linguistic groups. Linguists opposed putting the diverse languages of most native Americans into one "Amerind" group, but the theory fit dental and genetic evidence from several labs, including Wallace's.

    Extractions: of Native American Languages At the time of first European contact, probably close to 1,000 American Indian languages were spoken in North, Central, and South America. Although the number of languages in daily use has steadily declined because of persecution and pressures on the Indians to adopt English, Spanish, and other originally European languages, well over 700 different American Indianor, as they are sometimes called, Amerindian or Native Americanlanguages are spoken today. In the United States many of the most famous linguists of the early 20th centuryamong them Franz BOAS, Leonard BLOOMFIELD, and Edward SAPIRtranscribed and analyzed North American Indian languages. Many descriptions of Indian languages are important in the literature of the linguistic school known as American structuralism. Today interest in Native American Indian languages is increasing, and Americanists, as those who study the languages are called, hold regular meetings to report on their findings. Current research on the native languages of the Americas is published in several periodicals, notably the International Journal of American Linguistics.

    Extractions: Updated September 17, 2010 The annual Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposia (SILS) have sought since 1994 to bring together language activists and teachers to meet together and with experts on linguistics, language revitalization, and language teaching to support policies, educational reforms, language teaching methods, and community initiatives to maintain and revitalize American Indian, Alaska Native, and other Indigenous languages. Much of the relevant previous literature on the subject is cited in the various papers included in Gina Cantoni's edited book Stabilizing Indigenous Languages , especially in Dr. Burnaby's paper in Section I, which emphasizes the Canadian experience. Since the 1996 publication of Stabilizing Indigenous Languages, eight other SILS monographs have been published, seven of which are on-line: http:/jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jar/ILR/ Language is Life .

56. Linguistic Families Of Indians
    Article on Canadian Indian language families as originally published in 1907 by the Bureau of American Ethnology as part of its Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico.

    Extractions: September 2004 Linguistic Families of the Native Languages [This text was originally published in 1907 by the Bureau of American Ethnology as part of its Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico [Much information on the topic of Native languages can be found in the Encyclopedia of North American Indians and at the Native American Languages site] The linguistic diversity of the Indians is perhaps the most remarkable feature of American ethnology. While certain general features, such, for example, as incorporation, use of verb and pronoun, employment of generic particles, use of non-grammatical genders, etc., usually occur, most of the languages of the New World exhibit analogies justifying their classification, on psychic grounds at least, as a single family of speech; nevertheless, the comparison of their vocabularies leads to the recognition of the existence of a large number of linguistic families or stocks having lexically no resemblance or connection with each other. Boas ( Science , XXIII, 644, 1906) is of the opinion however, that, considering the enormous differences in the psychological bases of morphology in American Indian languages, such psychic unity in one family of speech can hardly be predicated with confidence. Also, it may be that the Paleo-Asiatic languages of Siberia may, perhaps, belong with the American tongues. This linguistic diversity was perceived and commented on by some of the early Spanish historians and other writers on American subjects, such as Hervas, Barton, and Adelung; but the "founder of systematic philology relating to the North American Indians" (in the words of Powell) was Albert Gallatin, whose

    Extractions: Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz In recent years there has been a resurgence of studies at reservation schools across the country to ensure that Native American children don’t lose touch with their ancient traditions and languages. When Europeans first landed on the coast of what would become the United States, there were more than 300 languages spoken by the indigenous American Indian tribes living in this country. Now, according to the Indigenous Language Institute, only 175 remain. During the next 30 years or so, 20 more languages may disappear into the annals of history, unless new generations learn them and keep them alive. Over a century ago when American Indians were moved to reservations, their children were sent to government boarding schools and missions to assimilate them into American society or, as Dodie White says, to "kill the Indian, save the child." The schools punished children for speaking their native language, forcing them to speak English and remain isolated from their parents and grandparents. But in 2000, Kevin Gover, Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), apologized publicly for the U.S. government's treatment of American Indians, saying that it amounted to nothing less than ethnic cleansing.
