Salish Root Project

Salish Root Project explores the deeper structure of the Salish language through root words, root families, and semantic orientation.

Most dictionaries treat Salish roots as isolated meanings. But many roots belong to larger root families that organize meaning across words and dialects.

This channel shares research, explanations, and discoveries from decades of work with Salish speakers and elders, helping make the deeper structure of the language more visible and accessible to learners, teachers, and communities.

Topics on this channel include:

• Salish root words
• root families
• how meaning expands from roots
• how words are formed
• the deeper worldview carried in the language

This channel is part of the Salish Root Project.
