Schmick's Mahican Dictionary: With a Mahican Historical Phonology, Memoirs, American Philosophical Society (Vol. 197) - Hardcover

by Carl David Masthay (Editor)

Printed in 1991, this volume is the first Mahican and English dictionary. It is based on the Moravian variety or dialect of Mahican, circa 1755, as opposed to the Stockbridge dialect recorded in Wisconsin as late as 1914 by Michelson and 1935 and 1937 by Siebert. Mahican was an important language because its speakers were at one time in a relatively dominant leading position in New eEngland and New York.
