An Essay On A Uniform Orthography For The Indian Languages Of North America is a book written by John Pickering and published in 1820. The book advocates for a standardized spelling system for the various Native American languages spoken in North America. Pickering argues that the current lack of a uniform orthography makes it difficult for Native Americans to communicate with each other and with non-Native English speakers. He proposes a system of phonetic spelling that would make it easier for people to learn and understand these languages. The book includes examples of the proposed spelling system and provides a detailed analysis of the linguistic features of several Native American languages. Overall, An Essay On A Uniform Orthography For The Indian Languages Of North America is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and linguistics of Native American languages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
