Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the challenges in writing languages that lack a written alphabet in a consistent manner. The author argues for an approach that uses the Roman alphabet and proposes phonetic rules for representing the sounds employed in Native American languages. This would greatly aid in preserving and studying these dialects which are rapidly disappearing from their traditional uses, and can be applied to historical documents as well as contemporary speech to aid in tracing the development of languages over widespread geographical areas. 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 # 9781333871741_0
