Description

The Michif language — spoken by descendants of French Canadian fur traders and Cree Indians in western Canada — is regarded as an “inconceivable language” since it uses French for nouns and Cree for verbs, and accommodates two other sets of grammatical regulations. Bakker uses historical research and fieldwork data to offer the primary detailed research of this language and the way it came into being.
