Subject: RE: Macaronachas / Macaronic Songs. Language mixin
I just posted a quadrilingual Chinook Jargon/Skokomish/Clallam/English VBS-campfire-type ditty. It was posted yesterday to Chinook List by David Robertson, a Victoria BC linguist, and tentatively attributed to Myron Eells, noted 19th-century NW missionary/linguist. Robertson found it in the BC Provincial Museum archives, along with a couple of other religious songs (one in Skokomish i.e. Twana, the other in Nisqually i.e. Southern Lushootseed).
