| Summary: | SENĆOŦEN [sən'ʧɑθən], also known as Saanich, is the language of the Saanich First Nations community, from the Saanich Peninsula of Vancouver Island, Canada, and neighbouring Gulf and San Juan Islands. Along with five closely related Northern Straits dialects, it belongs to the Salish language family (Central Salish branch). The Northern Straits language is one of 32 indigeneous languages of British Columbia. The Saanich Verb Database is a searchable archive of sentences, verbs, and roots from the Saanich language. The database was created for the project 'SENĆOŦEN on the web: Access for linguists and community', funded by the British Academy. Fieldwork funding for data collection came from a variety of sources: 2004-2006: SSHRC grant to Suzanne Urbanczyk (University of Victoria); 2008-2010: University of Surrey, Jacobs Fund, Phillips Fund, British Association for Canadian Studies; 2011-2013: a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship to Claire Turner; The support of all funding organisations is gratefully acknowledged. ... |
