Delaware, like many algonquian languages, is hovering dangerously close to extinction. Not learned as a first language for several generations, it is currently spoken by fewer than a dozen people, and understood by only ten or twenty more. In this book John O'Meara presents a comprehensive treatment of the Delaware language as spoken by the Delaware people living at Moraviantown, Ontario.The community at Moraviantown dates from 1792 when a group of Delaware refugees fled there from the United States after a massacre by frontiersmen in Ohio. Their language is sometimes referred to as Munsee Delaware to distinguish it from the closely related Unami Delaware, which is also near extinction. O'Mearas grammar is technically rigorous yet simple enough to be useful to the serious lay reader. The material is broken into natural topics and, taken as a whole, presents a detailed synthesis of what is known of the language.This book follows closely on O'Meara's Delaware-English/English-Delaware Dictionary, published by UTP in 1996. Together, the two texts provide a valuable record of a seriously endangered language.
