520			_a"Dictionary of the Chinook Jargon, or, Trade Language of Oregon" by George Gibbs is a linguistic reference work written in the mid-19th century. The dictionary compiles the vocabulary and derivations of the Chinook Jargon, a pidgin language used for trade among various tribes and European settlers in the Pacific Northwest. This work documents the integration of Indigenous vocabulary with influences from English, French, and other languages, reflecting the multicultural interactions of the period. The opening of the dictionary provides a preface explaining the history and development of the Chinook Jargon. Gibbs discusses previous vocabularies and mentions the contributions from different tribes and languages that shaped the Jargon, including discussions on errors made by earlier linguists and the importance of accurate representation of the language. The narrative also highlights the practical necessity of the Jargon for trade and communication among diverse linguistic groups in Oregon, indicating its significance as a means of cultural exchange.
