ANTH 1443 - AMERICAN INDIAN LANGUAGES

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Of over 1000 different languages spoken by native Americans in 1492, about 600 survive, most spoken by small numbers, although many populous Amer-Indian ethnic groups are found in MesoAmerica and the Andes. This course will survey the language families of the new world, and study the grammar and ethnographic texts of two languages. The results of historical and comparative research on Amer-Indian languages will be studied, particularly as they relate to the culture history of their region. We will also study pre-Columbian writing, literature and efforts at cultural maintenance.
