Grammatical Sketch of the Heve Language Shea's Library of American Linguistics. Volume III.

"Grammatical Sketch of the Heve Language" by Buckingham Smith is an early scientific work that dives deep into the Heve language of the Eudeve people, found in the Sonora region of Mexico. It acts as a grammar guide and a study of Heve culture through its language. Smith gets into the small parts of the Heve language, covering how it's written, where the words come from, and the grammar rules. The book includes the sounds of the language, its vocabulary, and how sentences are put together, providing valuable information allowing one to learn and explore such native language. Smith also addresses cultural context of the time, including the way of life, relation to their environment, and relations they have with other tribes.
