Publishing Information
Published 2001 by Ts'msyeen Sm'algyax Authority, Prince Rupert.
There seems to be two editions of the Sm'algyax Student Dictionary published in 2001. The differences between the two editions are unspecified but appear to be minimal, however, one edition includes more entires than the other. Additionally, separate volumes were published for each translation direction (English to Sm'algyax and Sm'algyax to English), resulting in two editions made up of two volumes each (four volumes in total). This dictionary is very similar to the Sm'algyax Dictionary which also has two very similar editions (and four volumes total). It is unclear what the relationship is between these editions of Sm'algyax dictionaries published in 2001.
