The following hymns are in the Chill-way-uk dialect of the language of
the Alkomaylum nation of Indians, who live along the Fraser River, from
Yale to the Coast, and on Vancouver Island, at Cowichan and Nanaimo.
The Alkomaylum, (or Ankomeenum, sometimes called Stawlo or River
language,) as spoken by the Cowichans, is sweet and rythmical. The
Chillwayuk dialect is harsher and more guttural. The Nanaimos, the
Yales, the Sumas, the Kwantuls, etc. of B.C., and the Nooksaks of
Wash., U.S.A., each speak a slightly different dialect of the same
language.
