Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Clatskanie

We have included ten basic words, enough to give you a feeling for each language. All the nouns are singular and all the verbs are 3rd person singular ("he or she sings") because many Native American languages don't have a separate infinitive ("to sing") the way English and French do.

If you need to know a Clatskanie word that is not currently on our page, you can take part in our Indian translation fundraiser or visit our main Clatskanie language site for more free resources.

Thanks for your interest in Native American languages!
