Salish Word Book |
You can learn to play the game Uno in n̓səl̓xčin̓ (Colville-Okanagan Salish) using the word/phrase list and the audio to the right. Most Uno decks sold in stores these days do not include English language text on the cards, so it is easy and fun to call out your plays, colors and numbers in Salish. You can even tell other players, "Don't cheat!"
