Description:

Words in ten varieties of Eskimo are arranged in comparative sets with English equivalents. Related vocabulary in five Inuit dialect groups, four Yupik languages, and the nearly extinct Sirenikski of Siberia are compared, and related words in Aleut are include when possible. The Eskimo-Aleut language family is descended from the common Proto-Eskimo-Aleut, and its related languages are spoken in an unbroken chain stretching from Siberia to Greenland.
