Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples houses the “Hattori Collection”, which includes a lot of materials of Attu dialect of Aleut (Unangan) language and Aleut culture. Takeshi Hattori (1909-1991), a well-known linguist as the expert of the Nivkh language, researched the Aleut language in 1943 at Otaru city in Hokkaido, Japan. In those days, all Aleuts of the Attu island were interned in Otaru because of Aleutian Islands campaign between the Japanese and U.S. Army. This paper reveals Hattori’s grammatical study of Aleut by transcribing and editing several materials (T-227-8, T-227-10 and a portion of T-227-11a). These materials are handwritten memorandums and mainly focus on Aleut grammar. There are two styles of phonetic notation and writing in these materials. We presume that style A was used by Hattori and style B was used by his informant. We edited these materials and added the editors’notes. These materials will support our understanding of Hattori’s study and future studies of the Aleut language.
