- Description
Reading and Writing Bush Cree: sakâw nîhiyawîwin ayamihcikîwin ikwa masinahikîwin is a practical mini guide by language keepers for learners exploring the Northern Y dialect of the Cree language (nîhiyawîwin). It introduces syllabics and phonetics, and the eBook includes many short, embedded audio tracks to help guide pronunciation. While it does use some specialized linguistic vocabulary, Twin and Fontaine have also included a glossary, so no prior knowledge is required to use this resource. This work would best be used to support nîhiyawîwin learners, but excerpts may be useful in other lessons to discuss examples of Indigenous languages or the diversity within language families like Cree.
