Introductory Lakota Audio CD Language Course.

Includes 15 audio CD discs ( = 12 hours) plus an 87-page textbook, and a 9-page final test workbook. The Lakota language today is spoken by thousands of Lakota people living primarily in South Dakota, west of the Missouri River. The term "Lakota" refers to people of similar ethnic backgrounds and includes Lakota speakers (the most numerous), Dakota and Nakota speakers. Developed at Oglala Lakota College, the emphasis is on sound and meaning. All lessons recordings are by native speakers. Listen to the Lakota speech. Exercises for written practice lessons are included, using the Roman alphabet, because Lakota was never written until recently.
