单词 | nuu-chah-nulth |
释义 | Nuu-chah-nulthadj.n. A. adj. Of or relating to any of a group of North American Indian peoples inhabiting the west coast of Vancouver Island, or their language; = Nootka adj. 1, in some uses also including Nitinaht (see note).There is some disagreement among ethnologists and linguists as to whether the designation includes the Nitinaht (see Nitinaht n.). ‘The Nootkans of Vancouver Island referred to themselves for years as West Coast, and officially adopted the name West Coast Allied Tribes in 1958. The expression Westcoast language was also used. In 1978 they coined the name Nuu-chah-nulth, and this name probably now predominates in linguistic writing. In Handbk. N. Amer. Indians VII, Northwest Coast (1990) we used Nootka since (1) it was the established scientific name and (2) Nuu-chah-nulth is not actually a synonym of Nootka, since Nuu-chah-nulth includes the Nitinaht as well. The linguists who use Nuu-chah-nulth for Nootka simply ignore this aspect of the problem, preferring to use the locally favored term even if it is less precise and in a vernacular orthography with hyphens as syllable dividers.’ (Dr I. Goddard).
