The Cree Language Oji-Cree has also been lumped in with Cree, but this is a distinct language on its own, or at least a dialect of Ojibway. Cree is the most widely spoken Native language in Canada.

Abecedaria: June 2005 The Cree syllabary was invented by James Evans and has been used ever since by the Cree, Inuktitut, Oji-Cree, Ojibway and many other First Nations of Canada. Both systems were new, both were artificial; but in Korea, when Hangul was introduced in the 15th century, there was already a long tradition of writing using the Chinese script -- including a sophisticated calligraphic practice -- whereas the Cree and Ojibwa had not been in the habit of writing down their languages at all. In addition to having his own taxonomic wheel for writing systems, Bringhurst writes about the Cree Syllabary and its use among the Inuktitut, Cree and Ojibway. abecedaria.blogspot.com /2005_06_01_abecedaria_archive.html   (10673 words)

Anglican Journal, September 2004 -- Elder and chaplain join forces for youth The Junior Rangers, from 14 remote Cree and Oji-Cree First Nations, were confused at first by Capt. Harvey, who wore a Ranger sweatshirt but no indication that he is a chaplain. It was the first time Capt. Fraser Harvey, the Anglican chaplain at the Canadian Forces Base in Borden, Ont., had worked with an aboriginal elder, and it was the first time Stella Blackbird, a traditional Cree medicine woman and a Canadian Ranger with the rank of chief warrant officer, had worked with a military chaplain. After an instructor kept telling them to watch their language because there was a priest nearby, some of the Rangers asked Capt. Harvey if he was the priest the instructor was referring to. www.anglicanjournal.com /130/07/canada02.html   (546 words)

Native-American fonts [...] These days, Inuktitut, Cree, Naskapi, Oji-Cree, are the languages most often written in Syllabics (although Roman orthographies for these languages are also available).

In a reversal of the usual process, Sequoyah explicitly developed the syllabary in a shape which would make it--in his own words--suitable for print, and deliberately took inspiration from Latin typography for the design of some of its characters. jeff.cs.mcgill.ca /~luc/native.html   (4392 words)

languagehat.com: ANYONE FOR SALISHAN? A sort of "artificial" trade language forms to unite the various Cree and Ojibwa speakers - something like Severn River Oji-Cree - and is adopted by other plains natives like the Dakota as a authentic and more modern native American language in opposition to English. Chinook being a trade language is easier for anyone to learn--we were communicating in it after a weekend--so it's an option for people who want to keep a hold on their culture but are daunted by Halkomelem. I'm trying to find out which Salishan languages, if any, still have a reasonably healthy speaking community (e.g., spoken in most households in at least one place and has at least some speakers under the age of 10.) Ethnologue suggests that the answer is none. www.languagehat.com /archives/001209.php   (2417 words)
