Vocabulary of the Kwakiutl Language. 
Dr. Franz Boas. L 
(Read before the American Philosophical Society, November IS, 1892.) 
The Kwakiutl language is spoken on the coast of British Columbia, from 
Cape Mudge to Douglas and Gardner Channels, excluding Dean Inlet and 
Benlinck Arm, which are occupied by the Bilqula. The language forms 
a branch of the Wakashan stock, being affiliated with the Nootka or Aht 
of the wTest coast of Vancouver Island. The form of these languages 
reminds us in many respects of that of the Salishan stock, and it may be 
that a connection exists between both. 
The Kwakiutl language is spoken in three dialects . the Kwakiutl proper, 
the Heiltsuk- and the Gyit’araa't. The first is spoken by the tribes of 
Vancouver Island and of the coast southeast of Rivers Inlet; the second 
by the tribes inhabiting the coast between Rivers Inlet and Gardner 
Channel; the last in Gardner and Douglas Channels. It will be found 
that phonetics and vocabulary of the northern and southern tribes are 
much alike, while the middle dialect stands more apart. This is probably 
due to the admixture of Bilqula elements in the central region. 
The vocabularies contained in the following pages were collected by 
the author in 1886, 1888, 1889, 1890. As slight differences are found be 
tween the vocabularies of the various tribes, the tribe from which the 
words were collected are given. The following abbreviations have been 
used ;

A.—Awi'ky’enoq. ) 
H.-He'iltsuk-, 5 Heiltsuk- Dialect. 
G-.—Gyit’ama'l, Gyit’ama't Dialect. 
The literature of this language is very scanty. The following writings 
are of importance :

laries of the Indian Tribes of British Columbia. Montreal, 1884. 
G. M. Dawson, Vocabulary in Trans. Royal Soc. of Canada, 1887, ii.

Canada, 1888, ii, pp. 59-105.

The following alphabet has been used ; the vowels have their conti- 
nental sounds : 
a aw in law. 
e e in flower. 
Consonants.—The following consonants require a special description : 
k*. g'. 
k, g, 
ky (kn), gy. 
This is a series of k sounds beginning with the posterior guttural k\ 
passing through the ordinary kto the anterior palatal ky. There is a ten- 
dency in the Heiltsuk* dialect to transform ky and gy into k and g. The 
distinction between sonans and media is here, as in many other Indian 
languages, exceedingly difficult, and it may be that to the Indian ear 
there is no real distinction between both classes. The same is true in the 
case of labials and dentals, s and c(— English sh) are evidently modi- 
fications of the same sound ; s is always pronounced with open teeth and 
post-alveolar position of the tip of the tongue. Thus it obtains a simi- 
larity with c, while the latter partakes in the same way of the character- 
istics of s. 
q, Q, h correspond to k, k, ky, the first being the German guttural ch 
in ach, the last the German palatal ch in ich, the Q an intermediate sound 
like ch in the Westphalian dialect. 
The vowels of the Kwakiutl language are extremely variable, and I 
have not been able to ascertain satisfactorily the meaning of lengthening 
and shortening, of apparent contractions and diaeresis. I had, therefore, 
to confine myself to give the various forms which I obtained from the 
Indians. We find a series of very indistinct vowels which are not articu- 
lated, but indicated by position of the mouth. The most frequent among 
these is u following a terminal k, for which I have used the sign ‘; for 
instance, in the passive participle —k‘. In compounds, when a syllable 
follows the —k‘ the uis often articulated. 
Pauses in words are very frequent, and are almost always accom- 
panied by an increased stress of the preceding consonant. I have found 
it impossible in this language to distinguish clearly between consonants 
articulated with ordinary stress and increased stress, although the latter 
are undoubtedly found, p. e., ky’e, no. Boas.]
