The Siouan Languages by Thaddeus C. Grimm. Newton, KS: Mennonite Press. 2012. 85pp. Bibliography, linguistic map, tables.
$ 24.95

This book summarizes the current status of all known Siouan Languages and their dialects. Catawban is included as it is the closest distant relative to Siouan. The book concentrates on phonology and lexicology rather than grammar. Glottochronology, also called lexico-statistic dating, was used to determine the time depths between languages. These time references are correlated with archeological evidence.

The author hold a doctorate in Chemical Engineering. He became interested in Siouan Languages as a teenager in St. Louis, Missouri in the mid-1950s. He has presented academic papers before the Annual Siouan Caddoan Language Conference between 1997 and 2006

This is a remarkable book for advanced scholars in linguistics and lexico-statistical methodology.
