Book excerpt: "While Michif language learning and teaching continues to expand, access to language resource materials is often limited. Working with community members, linguists and other specialists, our response has been to create a digital edition of the The Michif Dictionary Turtle Mountain Chippewa Cree by first language speakers Ida Rose Allard and Patline Laverdure and linguist John Crawford. Not only have we reproduced the textual contents of the original publication, but we have also added fluent speakers’ audio recordings of all Michif entries and example sentences.The writing system used in this version of the Michif Talking Dictionary is the one used in the original print dictionary and also reflects the variation between the two different speakers and their own spelling conventions. However, having multiple spellings for the same sounds can sometimes be confusing for learners. We are, therefore, working to have the Michif Talking Dictionary available in the Michif Double Vowel writing system (a work in progress!) as well, which is what is used in the Southern Michif online course and other resources that P2WILRC creates."--Publisher's description.
