APPENDIX II 
KEY TO THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE FLATHEAD WorpDs 
The Flathead language has sounds quite different from that of 
the English language. No attempt is made to give an exact 
allophony, as this would not enhance the main text. The follow- 
ing symbols give only an approximation to the true Flathead 
sounds. These have been adapted and simplified from Hart 
(1974). The interested reader should pursue this work for the 
exact allophony.
