Thanks, kat. I'll look there.

Ebbie, my Tlingit (what little there is) is all book-larnt, from the third edition of Beginning Tlingit checked out of the Seattle Public Library (and from a couple other library books etc. with parallel texts). My main indigenous languages (and I'm not all that good in either of them) are Chinuk Wawa [Chinook Jargon] and dxwlEšucid [Lushootseed, aka Puget Sound Salish], which I study on the theory that if you're going to move to a new country you really ought to learn the language.

gaelicconquest, Tlingit is the main indigenous language of SE Alaska; it's Na-Dene. The Esperanto translation is on the right. More later, I'm about to run out of time on the library computer.
