[Boas. 
Vocabularies of the Tlingit, Raida and Tsimshian Languages. 
Dr. Franz Boas. 
(Read before the American Philosophical Society, October 2, 1891.) 
The following vocabularies were collected by the author when studying 
the Indian tribes of British Columbia, under an appointment of the Com- 
mittee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, ap- 
pointed for the purpose of investigating and publishing reports on the 
physical characters, languages, and industrial and social conditions of the 
Northwestern tribes of the Dominion of Canada. It was decided that in 
the report of the Committee a brief comparative vocabulary only should 
be printed. As, however, the languages of the North Pacific Coast of 
America are little known, the vocabularies may be found to possess some 
value. 
The following alphabet has been used : 
The vowels have their continental sounds, namely: aas in father; e 
like ain mate; ias in machine; b as in note ; uas in rule. In addition 
the following have been used :a,bas in German ; a —aw in law; E= e 
in flower. 
Among the consonants the following additional letters have been used : 
g', a very guttural g, similar to gr; k\ a very guttural k, similar to kr; 
q, the German ch in Bach ; h, the German ch in ich; q, between q and h ; 
c=sh in shore; q=th in thin; tl an explosive, dorso-apical I; dl a 
palatal, dorsal I. ■ ‘ following a consonant designates the u position of the 
organs of articulation.
