(fr) James Evans, född 1801, död 1846, var en brittisk missionär verksam i Kanada. Evans verkade som wesleyanernas missionär bland indianerna i övre Kanada, särskilt bland Creeindianerna, för vilkas språk han uppfann en berömd stavelseskrift, som möjliggjorde bibelöversättningar. Evans räknas som metodisternas främste indianmissionär. (sv) James Evans (* 18. Januar 1801 in Kingston upon Hull in Großbritannien; † 23. November 1846 in , Großbritannien) war ein methodistischer Missionar und Pastor in Kanada und Amateur-Linguist. Evans wurde in Kingston upon Hull in Großbritannien geboren, und emigrierte 1820 nach Kanada.Er missionierte an der Hudson Bay und erfand für die Sprache des Ojibwe-Stammes 1840 eine eigene Schrift. Evans experimentierte kurz mit dem lateinischen Alphabet, dann gab er dies auf zugunsten einer Silbenschrift, bei der er sich vermutlich von der Pitman-Kurzschrift inspirieren ließ. Diese Schrift bestand aus neun Zeichen, die durch Drehung in vier Richtungen die verschiedenen Vokale wiedergeben konnten. Später modifizierte er die Schrift leicht, um sie auch für die Sprache des Cree-Stammes anwenden zu können (de)
