Annotation
This dictionary of the Munsee dialect of Delaware, the most archaic Eastern Algonquian language, documents an important language that is dying out, as well as its culture. It has to be stressed though that only those words were included that were recognized by modern-day speakers of Munsee in the 1980's.
