Online Potawatomi Dictionary
Written by: ejanofski
Our site now features an online Potawatomi Dictionary with over 7000 Potawatomi words and phrases. To access the dictionary, click on the “Dictionary” button in the main navigation area near the top of our site.
Recently we were given two spreadsheets of words by fluent speaker Jim Thunder Sr. of Forest County and linguist Laura Buszard-Welcher. We were able to collate these words into one database that will be used to store these and more words to come.
Our dictionary also features conjugated verbs. You can access these words by selected “Conjugated Verbs” at the top of the dictionary. This section is a step forward in our attempt to demystify conjugated verbs. This section is still a work in progress and there may be errors, but we are sure you will find value from having these lists as you try to write and speak sentences.
There is still a lot of work left to do with the dictionary. We hope to go through the words and remove duplicates, upload audio clips, and add other features as well.
Hopefully these new features will serve as a powerful tool for learning the language.
Migwetth.
