Seattle Lushootseed

Seattle Lushootseed is an application designed to provide an accessible entry into Lushootseed and its history in the context of the Seattle area, and also serves as a vocabulary and pronunciation resource for speakers of the language. Throughout the past decades, many people have spent a large amount of time and effort in preserving the Lushootseed language, but much of this work is buried deep in dictionaries and largely inaccessible unless one is willing to dive deep into the language on their own.

This app features:

- An explanation of the Lushootseed alphabet and its various sounds

- A list of vocabulary terms

- A simple flashcard feature to practice the vocabulary terms

- An interactive map of the Seattle area displaying various Lushootseed place names

- Information about the history of the Lushootseed language
