Zapotec-English / English-Zapotec (Isthmus) Concise
Dictionary
Isthmus Zapotec, one of at least six known varieties of Zapotec, claims the
largest number of speakers in the Zapotecean family. It is spoken in Oaxacam
in Mexico's Isthmus of Tehuantepec, and in the state's capital city, Oaxaca
de Juarez. This is the first dictionary of Isthmus Zapotec to be published
in English. In addition to over 5, 000 entries -- with etymological notes
given when entry words derive from Spanish -- the dictionary contains
detailed yet concise sections covering spelling and pronunciation, as well
as the major points of Isthmus Zapotec grammar.
A Scott Britton lived among Oaxaca's Zapotecs, where he studied their
culture and learned the language. Originally from Florida, he now resides in
Athens, Ohio, where he works as a writer, translator, researcher, and
photographer. |
