Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent survey
Review: This book provides an excellent survey of linguistic interaction between European and North American languages over the last 450 years, as evidenced mainly by loanwords. Accessibly written and historically aware; focuses mainly on English words borrowed from northern tribes, with a secondary emphasis on Spanish and Mesoamerican languages. An excellent read for anyone interested in words for their own sake.
