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. This historical reconstruction accords best with the observed levels of divergence within the family, whereby the most divergent languages are found futhest west (since they constitute the earliest branchings), and the shallowest subgroupings are found furthest to the east (Eastern Algonquian, and arguably Core Central). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Algonquian   (1100 words)

Algic languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Most Algic languages are part of the Algonquian subfamily, which are spoken from the Rocky Mountains to New England. The other Algic languages are the Yurok and Wiyot languages of northwestern California. There is not yet scholarly consensus on this question among specialists in the Algic languages. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Algic_languages   (322 words)

MSN Encarta - Search View - Native American Languages Voiceless, or whispered, vowels are found in North America in Zuñi, Hopi, and Keresan (all spoken by Pueblo peoples), in Panamint Shoshone (Uto-Aztecan), and in Cheyenne (Algic); in Middle America in Totonac and some Oto-Manguean languages; and in South America in Ticuna and others. 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. uk.encarta.msn.com /text_761573518__1/Native_American_Languages.html   (3303 words)

Algonquian (Algic) Language Family Linguists think that the Algonquian (Algic) languages originated from an ancestral language called Proto-Algonquian that was spoken between 3,000-2,000 years ago in the area between Georgian Bay and Lake Ontario. The two distantly related languages Wiyot (now extinct) and Yurok (12 remaining speakers) are also included in the Algic family. Today, the Algonquian language family includes a group of 27 languages spoken in a wide region stretching through the central part of the North American continent from the Canadian subarctic in the north to the eastern seaboard as far south as North Carolina. www.nvtc.gov /lotw/months/october/Algonquian.html   (707 words)

Encyclopedia of North American Indians - - Salishan Languages 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. Nevertheless, English and television are seriously eroding the perpetuation of these languages, which survive better in Canada, with its polyglot governmental policies, than in the United States. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/naind/html/na_034200_salishanlang.htm   (1037 words)

FREELANG.net magazine - interview of Guy Gambill I have decided to focus, primarily, on the Algic family of languages for now--thus, the Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Ojibwe, and Abenaki files. I have studied the Celtic languages from the standpoint of a historical linguist and understand well their importance within the broader Indo-European family of languages. For languages which I had little knowledge of I sought out those who possessed greater knowledge than I -this is particularly true of the Native American languages. www.freelang.net /mag/interview_guy.html   (2042 words)

Algonquian Language Family (Algonkian Indian Languages, Algic, Algonquian Indians, Algonquians) Though these languages are most properly known as 'Algic' to linguists (Wiyot and Yurok are not considered closely related enough to qualify as Algonquian, and the broader category Algic includes them as well), 'Algonquian' (also spelled 'Algonkian') is the general term most often used by the Native American people who speak them. Algonquian Indian languages are not related to Ancient Egyptian, Hebrew, or other Semitic languages; this data was faked.

Native American Language Net: Preserving and promoting indigenous American Indian languages 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. We are a small non-profit organization dedicated to the survival of Native American languages, particularly through the use of Internet technology. www.native-languages.org   (1052 words)
