This handbook provides broad coverage of the languages indigenous to North America, with special focus on typologically interesting features and areal characteristics, surveys of current work, and topics of particular importance to communities. The volume is divided into two major parts: subfields of linguistics and family sketches. The subfields include those that are customarily addressed in discussions of North American languages (sounds and sound structure, words, sentences), as well as many that have received somewhat less attention until recently (tone, prosody, sociolinguistic variation, directives, information structure, discourse, meaning, language over space and time, conversation structure, evidentiality, pragmatics, verbal art, first and second language acquisition, archives, evolving notions of fieldwork). Family sketches cover major language families and isolates and highlight topics of special value to communities engaged in work on language maintenance, documentation, and revitalization.

List of North American families, languages, and dialects
The following is a list of families, languages, and dialects mentioned in the handbook. It is not an exhaustive list of all North American languages and dialects, but just those mentioned in the various chapters. Only North American languages are included here.
The list includes the names as they appear in the chapters, in addition to any alternate names and spellings. While we do not intend to perpetuate misnomers and misspellings, we opted to include names that appear in major publications and those still in use so that relevant resources can be identified. We recognize that these names are likely going to change over time.
For some languages and dialects, multiple names are widely used, and rather than choosing a single main entry, we decided to include each name as a main entry. Names that include cardinal directions, toponyms, etc. are listed once and cross-referenced (e.g., Apache, Plains -> See: Plains Apache).
The third column reflects the genetic affiliation of particular languages and dialects. We chose to list the language family, as well as major branches for some of the larger families. If a name refers to a family, it is noted as such.
