THE WAY WE SPEAK

The Way We Speak, NOUNS, is the way our Big Horn Lenapaaw speak what we know to be the Oonalaxtako Delaware dialect. This volume concerns nouns, pronouns, particle, preverbs(adverbs) and prenouns(adjectives). This dialect was preserved by the Moravian Missionaries. It is the only dialect to preserve words for parts of muzzleloading rifles, as the Moravians recorded such in the 1700's. A culmination of working since 1994 to translate the Moravian works from German and develop a grammar.
