	Algonquian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Algonquian (also Algonkian) languages are a subfamily of Native American languages that includes most of the languages in the Algic language family (the two Algic languages that are not Algonquian are Wiyot and Yurok of northwestern California).
		The proto-language from which all of the languages of the family descend, Proto-Algonquian, was spoken at least 3,000 years ago, though there is still no scholarly consensus as to where this language was spoken.
		Algonquian is sometimes said to have included the extinct Beothuk language of Newfoundland, although evidence is scarce and poorly recorded, and the claim is mainly based on geographic proximity.

		Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
		Although deaf sign languages have emerged naturally in deaf communities alongside or among spoken languages, they are unrelated to spoken languages and have different grammatical structures at their core.
		There has been very little historical linguistic research on sign languages, and few attempts to determine genetic relationships between sign languages, other than simple comparison of lexical data and some discussion about whether certain sign languages are dialects of a language or languages of a family.

		In such familiar languages, the subject of the sentence is in the nominative case—that is, the subject has the same form and function, whether the sentence is transitive (has a direct object) or intransitive (lacks an object).
		Languages that have switch reference indicate whether a subject or object of a clause is the same as or different from the subject or object of an earlier clause.
		Languages such as Russian and Latin, which distinguish the role of a noun (such as subject, direct object, or indirect object) by case marking are said to have nominal case systems.

	Encyclopedia of North American Indians - - Salishan Languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The homeland of the protolanguage was probably the delta of the Fraser River—the center of the coastal language distribution and the head of a route into the interior.
		Salishan languages consist overwhelmingly of verbs, with secondary additions to suggest that nouns are merely verbs made to hold still, and of consonants—often the same sounds spoken in both plain and glottalized (pronounced in the throat) versions.
		In Canada, some Salishan languages became extinct not because they were replaced by English but because so many speakers of another Salishan language had married into the community that the old language was replaced by another Salishan example; for instance, Halkomelem replaced Nooksak, and Pentlatch shifted to Comox.

		We are a small non-profit organization dedicated to the survival of Native American languages, particularly through the use of Internet technology.
		Actually, Native American languages do not belong to a single Amerindian family, but 25-30 small ones; they are usually discussed together because of the small numbers of natives speaking most of these languages and how little is known about many of them.
		These are linguistically diverse languages deserving of individual attention, and it is very difficult to make accurate generalizations about them as a group.
