Proto-Central Salish Phonology and Sound Correspondences

Academic Work


This article began as a preliminary look at Nooksack and Proto-Central Salish sound correspondences. It was preliminary because I began only looking for cognates with the 189 Nooksack words given in Amoss (1961). The purpose of the article was to find especially those correspondences which separate Nooksack from its neighbors, Halkomelem, Straits Salish, and Lushootseed (Puget Salish). This should provide a starting point for a series of in-depth studies I plan to do of the unpublished materials and tapes of Nooksack gathered by Pamela Amoss, Laurence Thompson and Barbara Efrat and their predecessors.
