The Language of the Salinan Indians is a book written by J. Alden Mason that provides a comprehensive study of the Salinan language. The Salinan Indians are a Native American tribe that inhabited the central coast of California before the arrival of Europeans. This book is a linguistic analysis of the Salinan language, which is now extinct. Mason's research is based on fieldwork he conducted in the early 20th century, during which he collected data on the Salinan language from the few remaining speakers. The book includes an introduction to the Salinan people and their culture, a description of the Salinan language's phonetics and grammar, and a vocabulary of Salinan words. The book also includes a discussion of the language's historical development, as well as its relationship to other Native American languages. This book is an essential resource for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the Salinan people and their language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
