Oneida Teaching Grammar

The Oneida Teaching Grammar is a 165 page document that describes the basic sound, word, and sentence structures of Oneida . These structures are presented in an order that balances two principles: from simple to complex; and from high frequency of use to lower frequency. The vocabulary, although extensive enough to provide examples, is limited to allow a focus on structures. Also included are tables, summary charts, and supplementary vocabulary items.

The document is downloadable in pdf format. It is approximately 26 megabytes. A special font is used to display some special characters.
