Zeisberger's Indian Dictionary

“Zeisberger's Indian Dictionary” is a comprehensive linguistic resource compiled by David Zeisberger, a Moravian missionary renowned for his work among Native American tribes during the 18th and early 19th centuries. This dictionary provides invaluable insight into the English, German, and Iroquois languages, specifically focusing on the Onondaga and Algonquin dialects.

Originally published in 1887, this dictionary reflects Zeisberger's deep understanding of Native American cultures and languages, gained through years of living and working closely with these communities. It serves not only as a language tool but also as a historical document, preserving aspects of Native American languages and cultures that might otherwise have been lost. This edition is a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of European and Native American cultures during the colonial period.
