The book uncovers the structure, vocabulary, and cultural importance woven into the Arawack language, giving details about its sounds, grammar, and sentence structure. The text also traces the Arawack tribe's historical movements and connections to other native groups, using old linguistic records and missionary papers to show how the language changed over time.
