Well, Beth, you can start by buying the "Handbook of the Delaware Indian Language, The Oral Tradition of a Native People" by Scott Hayes Wenning, available from Wennawoods Publishing, RR 2 Box 529C, Goodman Road,Lewisburg, PA 17837
1-800-796-1702. It is a very good starter book on this language.
or see

Scott is the keeper of the language, so he knows his stuff.
Regards,
Mike
