This vol., a modern reworking of the mss. of Johann Jacob Schmick, is in the “Moravian” dialect of Mahican and is divided into an English-Mahican-German section and a Mahican-English section. It includes a Mahican historical phonology and a background and explanatory description. This dictionary is useful for Indians of the East Coast who want to know their ancestral languages better, for of course Algonquianists, whether as linguists or ethnohistorians, for
Germanists, and for general readers who want some background on Schmnick’s era in Pennsylvania. The explanatory background can also be used as a study of linguistic influences. Maps.

"Masthay…has put a huge amount of research, interpretation, and translation into this book, which he has worked on for quite a span of years. No one before him has ever researched the extinct Mahican language to the extent he has. The book should be an inspiration."
