Ojibwe Dialect Relationships: Part I. Monograph

Ontario: University of Western Ontario, 1994.

This thesis presents a dialectological study of Ojibwe, a North American Indian language belonging to the Algonquian family. Of the thousand or so aboriginal languages of North America that existed at the time of contact with Europeans some five hundred years ago, Ojibwe is one of a handful that is still spoken as a mother-tongue by substantial number of speakers, though many dialects of Ovjibwe too face increasing obsolescence. Ojibwe is spoken in several distinct varieties over a wide area of central and western Canada, as well as in the United Staes in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota. Among native American languages, Ojibwe is matched for geographic range and number of monolingual and bilingual speakers only by its sister Algonquian language, Cree, and Eskimo in its many varieties. Ojibwe today has a substantially wider geographic range than it did at the time on contact with Europeans largely because of the prominence if the Ojibwe in the westward expansion of the fur trade.
