In this page : dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/16449is available a small Apsalooka-English dictionary, compiled by Apsalooka tribe member George Reed in 1974, as a part of his M.S. dissertation. It provides also a phonological and grammatical sketch. Has anybody info about new studies on Apsalooka language? So far, the best general studies I've found are Lowie's The Crow Language: Grammatical Sketch and Analyzed Text and R. Graczyk A Grammar of Crow. Thanks everybody!

It is not a new study but "Structural Elements of the Language of the Crow Indians of Montana" by Dorothea V. Kaschube would be a useful addition to the library of anyone studying the Crow language. It is No.14 of the University of Colorado Sudies, Series in Anthropology, issued in December 1967. HunkPapa

Thank you so much - I'm sure it's a great studies, as it is one of the (very) few texts mentioned in the bibliography of the thesis available in the link posted above - the other two are essentially about phonology. I was also wandering if whether there is an Apsalooka - English dictionary project ongoing....
Thanks again,
Jin

There have been some dictionaries published but whether or not they are still available I cannot say.
One was 'Crow Dictionary' by R.G. Gordon published in 1985.
Two others, 'Crow Indian Learning Guide' by E.C. Kates & G.H. Matthews (1986) and 'A Dictionary of Everyday Crow' by Medicine Horse, were at one time available from the Bilingual Materials Development Center at the Crow Agency, so it might be worthwhile contacting them to see what they may have in stock.

I've never heard about the Gordon dictionary - thank you so much! I was aware of a small dictionary published in 1889 by the Bureau of American Ethnology, but, as far as I know, has never been printed by any commercial press...
I'll try to contact the Bilingual Material Development Center - noticed that most of their publications date back to the 80s. I hope they're still active...
Thanks again,
Jin
