In this dictionary, related words from the modern Eskimo languages are grouped together in comparative sets with English equivalents. Ten linguistic varieties are compared including five Inuit dialect groups, the four Yupik languages and Sirenikski.
On the basis of these sets the compilers have reconstructed forms of the ancestor language Proto-Eskimo.
Aleut cognates are given where possible. Separate sections are devoted to derivational suffixes, inflectional endings and demonstratives.
A complete bibliography of lexical sources used for Eskimo in this dictionary is included.
This Comparative Eskimo Dictionary should prove useful to linguists in general, to students of Eskimo in particular and to speakers of the various Eskimo languages.
