This dictionary covers all dialects of the Central (Alaskan) Yup'ik Eskimo language, though some more than others. The language is one of four Yup'ik Eskimo languages that help make up the Eskimo portion of the Eskimo-Aleut family of languages, and is spoken in southwestern Alaska in the Yukon-Kyskokwim Delta, Bristol Bay area, and nearby regions. The project began in 1961, and Jacobson came on board in 1972. As soon as the first edition was published in 1984, additional words and corrections began being collected for the second. The first volume contains the introduction--which includes discussions of sounds and spelling and phonology and orthography, and dialects--and a Yup'ik-English dictionary of base words; the second contains postbases, endings, enclitics, appendices, and an English-to-Yup'ik index.
