Dictionary and Grammar of the Chamorro Language of the Island of Guam
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the Chamorro language, spoken in the Mariana Islands, particularly Guam. It provides a comprehensive dictionary, with both English-Chamorro and Chamorro-English sections, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning or understanding this unique language. The author, deeply invested in preserving the Chamorro language, faced the challenge of choosing between phonetic spelling and the traditional, albeit less consistent, method used by the Chamorro people. Ultimately, respect for the community's heritage led to the adoption of the latter, ensuring the dictionary's acceptance and usefulness to those for whom it was intended. Beyond vocabulary, the book delves into the intricacies of Chamorro grammar, exploring its distinct features like the dual number and the lack of grammatical gender. It sheds light on the formation of adjectives, verbs, and adverbs, offering insights into the language's structure and logic. This book is more than just a dictionary; it's a valuable tool for cultural understanding and preservation. By illuminating the nuances of the Chamorro language, it allows readers to appreciate the rich heritage and unique worldview of the Chamorro people. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333020750_0
