Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Kathlamet

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 Kathlamet word that is not currently on our page, you can take part in our Indian translations fundraiser, buy a Kathlamet linguistics book, or visit our main Kathlamet language site for more free resources.

Thanks for your interest in Native American languages!
