The monograph is the first systematic description of the Aleut language. The authors pay particular attention to the innovations that can be found in the Bering dialect and archaic features that are lost in the American version. Today the Aleut language in the Commander Islands is very close to extinction. Therefore, the primary purpose of the book is to record and describe the language, which forms a part of the unique Aleut culture.
