Tsihaili-Selish family (E. 5u5wapum9; F. 

 Selig [c. Kulespelm; d. Tsukaet-sitlin ; e. S^o- 

 aiatxlpi] ; G. Skltsuic ; H. Piskwaus ; I. Skwdle ; 

 J. Tsxailig [f. Tsxailig; g. Kwaiantxl; h. Kwc- 

 naiwitxl] ; K- Kawelitsk; L. Nsiet(;:iwus), pp. 

 535-542, comprising a comparative grammar of 

 the Shushwap, Selish, Tsihailish, and Nsiet- 

 shawns, with especial reference to the Selish. 



Vocabularies of Tsihaili-Selish; northern 

 branch: E. Shushwapumsh (Shushwaps, 

 Atnahs), r. Selish (Flatheads) [c. Kullespelm 

 (Ponderays), d. Ts.akaitsitliu (Spokan Inds.), 

 e. Soaiatlpi (Kettle-falls, &c.)], G. Skitsuish

 branch: ,f. Tsihailish (Chickailis, Chilts) if.

Hale (H.) — Continued. 



Kawelitsk (Cowelits)]; soutlieru branch: L. 

 Nsietshawus (Killamnks), pp. 569-629, contain- 

 ing on an average about three words ot each 

 dialect on a page, in the lines designated by the 

 above-named letters. 



"All these vocabularies (with the exception 

 of the Skwale, which was received from an 

 interpreter) were obtained from natives of the 

 respective tribes, generally under favourable 

 circumstances. For the Selish, Skitsuish, and 

 Piskwaus, we are indebted to the kindness of 

 Messrs. "Walker and Eels, missionaries of the 

 American Board at Tshamakain, near the Spo- 

 kan River. It was through the interj)retation 

 of these gentlemen, and the explanations which 

 their knowledge of the Selish enabled them 

 to give, that the words of all three languages, 

 and the numerous sentences in the Selish, 

 illustrative of the grammatical peculiarities of 

 that tongue, were correctly written. 



'• The languages of this family .ire all harsh, 

 guttur.al, and iudistinct. It is to the latter 

 quality that many of the variations in the vocab- 

 ularies are owing. In other cases, these pro- 

 ceed from dialectical ditferences, almost every 

 clan or sept in a tribe having some peculiarity 

 of pronunciation. In the Selish, three dialects 

 have been noted, and more might have been 

 given, had it not been considered superfluous. 

 The.se three .are first, the Kullespelm, spoken 

 by a tribe who live upon a river and about a 

 lake known by that name. They are called by 

 the Canadians Petid-Oreilles. which has been 

 corrupted to Ponderays ; secondly, that of the 

 proper Selish, or Flatheads, as they are called, 

 and of the Spokan Indians ; and that of the 

 Soaiatlpi, Okinakain, and other tribes upon the 

 Columbia. 



"Of the Tsihailisli, also, three dialects are 

 given, which ditfer considerably from one 

 another. The Quaiautl reside npon a rivv.r of 

 the same name, north of the Tsihailish (or 

 Chikailish) proper, and the Kwenaiwitl, in 

 like mannt'r, are north of the Kwaiantl, not far 

 from the entrance to the Straits of Fuca."
