ATHAPASCAN LANGUAGES. 



Azpell (Dr. Thomas F.) Vocabulary of 

 the Hoopa language. 



Manuscript, 10 uiimunbered leave3, 4°, in the 

 library of the Bureau of Ethnology, Washing- 

 ton, D. C. Recorded at Camp Gaston, Califor- 

 nia, Aug. 14, 1870, on Smithsonian form no. 170. 



The printed form contains blanks for 211 

 words, all of which are given, and in addition a 

 few other words and about 25 phrases and sen- 

 tences. In transmitting the manuscript Dr. 

 Azpell writes as follows : 



Camp Gaston, Hoopa Valley, Cal., 



Avg. 14th, 1870. 

 Secretary of Smithtonian Institution, 



Waehington, D. C: 



SlH : I have the honor to enclose herewith the 

 vocabularies of the Noh-tin-oah (or Hoopa) and 

 Sa-ag-its (or Klamath) tribes of Indians. 



I have adhered as closely a.s possible to the 

 orthography given in the Smithsonian instruc- 

 tions, with the single exception of substituting 

 the Greek x for "kk" in represeutiug the 



Azpell (T. F.) — Contiuued. 



guttural aspirate, which letter I think repre- 

 sents the sound better. 



The syllabic sounds have been carefully com- 

 pared in the pronunciation of several Indians 

 of each tribe, and I am able to hold communica- 

 tion with them by reading oif the words as I 

 have written them, which .seems to prove their 

 accuracy. 



The Indian languages in this vicinity are 

 rapidly becoming corrupted by contact with 

 the white man, the younger Indians speaking 

 in a different dialect fi-oni the elder ones, and 

 probably in a generation or two will be no 

 longer recognizable. Knowing this to be the 

 case, I have endeavored to get the most cor- 

 rect pronunciation from the older Indians, and 

 this, being very tedious, must be my apology 

 for seeming delay and al.so for writing the two 

 tribes on one form, as I have spoiled one by 

 pencil marks. 



Very respectfullj', your ob't serv't, 



T. F. Azpell, 

 AsitSurg. U.S.A.
