About The Book: *An Ainu-English-Japanese Dictionary* by John Batchelor is a foundational linguistic and ethnographic work documenting the Ainu language, spoken by the Indigenous Ainu people of northern Japan. Published in the early 20th century, it provides detailed vocabulary entries in Ainu, with English and Japanese translations, along with pronunciation guides and usage notes. The dictionary includes a comprehensive grammar section that outlines Ainu syntax, morphology, and phonetics, offering insights into the language’s unique structure. Batchelor, a missionary and long-time resident among the Ainu, also incorporated cultural observations, making the work valuable for both linguistic and anthropological study of this endangered language.
