Abstract
Description
This volume is intended to be a practical manual to learn the basics of the Ainu language, in its varieties of Southern Hokkaidō and Sakhalin. Thanks to its bottom-up approach and to the activities presented following a growing level of difficulty, this manual is suited for students even superficially trained in general linguistics as well as for the experienced linguist with no previous knowledge of the Ainu language. Through the selected language examples, the reader can also appreciate the regional differences of Ainu and have a glimpse into the Ainu folklore tradition.
