Studies In South American Native Languages: From Manuscripts And Rare Printed Sources is a book written by Daniel Garrison Brinton and originally published in 1892. The book is a collection of essays and studies on various South American indigenous languages, including Nahuatl, Quichua, Aymara, and Guarani, among others. Brinton, a renowned American ethnologist, linguist, and archaeologist, draws from manuscripts and rare printed sources to provide a comprehensive overview of the linguistic and cultural diversity of South America. The book offers a detailed analysis of the grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of each language, as well as their historical and cultural contexts. The essays in the book cover a wide range of topics, including the origins of South American languages, the influence of Spanish and Portuguese on indigenous languages, and the use of language in religious and ritual contexts. The book also includes translations of indigenous texts, such as myths, legends, and religious texts, providing readers with an insight into the rich cultural heritage of South America. Overall, Studies In South American Native Languages is an essential resource for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the history and culture of South America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
