Cree gets Digital
Recently stumbled upon a on-line resource intended for second-language learners, the Cree-Innu Linguistic Atlas.
Using a Google mash-up of sorts, it's a clickable map that lets you hear how different dialects of Cree handle various phrases in categories ranging from the usual 'Family' and 'Greetings,' to the more conversational 'Physical characteristics' and 'Comforts and discomforts.'
Very cool, and it's nice to see (and hear) someone take a pan-Cree approach to language promotion.
