"A Record of Study in Aboriginal American Languages" by Daniel G. (Daniel Garrison) Brinton is a late 19th-century scientific record of the author's deep analysis of Indigenous American languages. It presents his research and writings on the languages of Indigenous Americans, examining their specific structures and grammar. The meticulous classification and analysis of these languages underscores the importance of protecting these linguistic traditions. Over almost forty years, Brinton gathered his findings geographically, exploring features like how American languages function, the concept of incorporation within them, and their structural forms. It looks at connections between American and Asian languages, and the value of Indigenous writers and how they express themselves. Brinton notes how slowly unwritten languages change and argues for studying their original writings to better learn about their cultural contexts, giving readers valuable understanding into the complex nature of Aboriginal American languages.
