This volume, a modern reworking of the manuscripts of Johann Jacob Schmick, is in the "Moravian" dialect of Mahican and is divided into an English-Mahican-German section and a Mahican-English section. It includes a Mahican historical phonology, with a background and explanatory description which can be used as a study of linguistic influences. This dictionary is useful for Indians of the East Coast who want to know their ancestral languages better, for Algonquianists--whether as linguists or ethnohistorians-- for Germanists, and for general readers who are interested in Schmick's era in Pennsylvania.
