A short wordlist of Lakota with Welsh and English translations. The Lakota language is spoken by about 6,000 people in the mid-west of the United Sates and over the border in Canada. It has two variants - Dakota and Nakota, where the 'l' is replaced by 'd' and 'n' respectively.

There are a number of spellings for Lakota.
For examle, there is one used by the University of Colorado Lakhota Project in "Beginning Lakhota" (1976);
and another in "Everyday Lakota - An English-Sioux Dictionary for Beginners". Editors: Joseph S. Karol, Stephen L. Rozman, Ph.D. / St. Francis, South Dakota, USA / The Rosebud Educational Society / 1971, revised 1974.

The two spelling systems are similar; they both use diacritics and they use certain letters with values different from the English values.

These two are 'narrow' spellings; but there is a tendency to use 'broad' spellings. These convey a lot less phonetic information, but they are simpler to read and write (at least, for people who know the language!). Features of broad spellings are:

(1) the dropping of diacritics: these are -

(i) raised semi-circle with right-facing mouth, which represents an 'h' sound;

(ii) raised semi-circle with left-facing mouth, which represents a glottal stop;

(iii) 's' with a hachek above it, whixh represents 'sh' as in English 'shop';

(iv) an h with a dot above it, and a g with a dot above it (for sounds similar to German ich, nach)

(v) an acute accent to show the stressed syllable

 

(2) English spelling equivalents are often used

(i) for example, the letter 'c' in Lakota represents the 'ch' sound in English; some Lakotas write it 'ch'.

(ii) The letter s with a hachek (small v) above represents s; but it is often seen written 'sh' (otherwise it would be confused with the letter 's' which exists for the [s] sound).

(iii) Some vowels are nasalised, and the narrow spellings place an 'n' with a long tail on the downstroke to show such vowels. In broad spellings these nasal vowels are spelt the same as non-nasal vowels (a, i, u); or else the letter 'n' is used (which can be confusing, because 'n' exists as a separate letter pronounced [n].

(iv) Some consonants are followed by an 'h', and the raised semi-circle with right-facing mouth shows this. In broad spellings, this h sound is either not indicated (Lakota); or else the letter h is used (Lakhota)

(v) there is also a glottal stop in some words. The Rosebud Educational Society Dictionary uses the raised semi-circle with left-facing mouth; the University of Colorada course uses a symbol similar to a question mark. In broad spellings the glottal stop is not indicated.

The use of diacritics means that it is hard to reproduce these spellings using ASCII or HTML.


We have used a slightly amended form of the narrow spellings, with the following symbols. But it should be easy to recognise these words in the Lakotas' own preferred spellings. There are 29 consonants (below) and eight vowels a, i , e, o, u, and the nasals añ, iñ, uñ
