Tsilhqut'in, also known as Chilcotin, is a northern Athabaskan
language spoken by the people of the Chilco River (Tsilhqox) in
Interior British Columbia. Until now, the literature on Tsilhqut'in
contained very little description of the language. With forty-seven
consonants and six vowels plus tone, the phonological system is
notoriously complex. This book is the first comprehensive grammar
of Tsilhqut'in. It covers all aspects of linguistic structure -
phonology, morphology, and syntax - including negation and
questions. Also included are three annotated texts. The product of
decades of work by linguist Eung-Do Cook, this book makes an
important contribution to the ongoing documentation of Athabaskan
languages.
