Seneca Dictionary Compiled by Wallace Chafe

This Seneca language dictionary contains words collected by Wallace Chafe over many years. While he was not a native speaker of the Seneca language, he aimed for broad coverage and accuracy in spelling.

No practical dictionary can contain all possible Seneca words. A single Seneca word often translates into a whole sentence in English. Therefore, the number of Seneca words is far greater than the number of English words. Also, English translations do not always correspond to exact Seneca meanings. Therefore, headings may be rough approximations.
