Research and writing of a reference that transcribes and translates Lekwungen texts, a dialect of Northern Straits Salish, together with a dictionary of the language.

The goal of the project proposed here is the production of a set of transcribed and translated Lekwungen texts with interlinear glossing and analysis together with a dictionary of the language. The texts’ interlinear glossing and analysis will be time-aligned with the audio.
