Alphabetical Vocabularies of the Clallum and Lummi, written by George Gibbs in the mid-19th century, is a linguistic reference documenting the vocabulary and features of the Clallam and Lummi tribes of the Pacific Northwest. The work highlights the similarities and differences between these indigenous languages, providing insights into their phonetic characteristics and cultural context. Gibbs' efforts to collect vocabulary during his time with the N.W. Boundary Commission contribute to the understanding of Native American languages and their significance in linguistic studies.
