	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 group 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.
		Because Algonquian languages were some of the first that Europeans came in contact with in North America, the language family has given many words to English.

	Ojibwe language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ojibwe, Ojibwa, Chippewa or Anishinaabemowin (ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᒧᐎᓐ in Eastern Ojibwe syllabics) is the third most commonly spoken Native language in Canada (after Cree and Inuktitut), and the fourth most spoken in North America (behind Navajo, Cree, and Inuktitut).
		Ojibwe is an Algonquian language, of the Algic family of languages, and is descended from Proto-Algonquian.
		Though Potawatomi was at one time part of the Ojibwe language, due to development of significant enough differences in the language since the contact period, it is now considered a separate language; however, among the Anishinaabeg, many still considers the Potawatomi language (known as Boodewaadamiimowin or Bodéwadmimwin) as a dialect of Anishinaabemowin.

	MHS Transactions: Culture Change Among the Northern Ojibwa
		To the Ojibwa family, the practise of native usage works to the degree that the parents' observing their children characteristically speaking Ojibwa reinforces their feeling that all is well between them and their children.
		The Ojibwa are rigorously autonomous (I have had a full Cree introduced to me as a "white man"), [9] and our subject's rejection of the culture is returned in magnified proportions.
		Ojibwa culture is male oriented, inheritance is patrilineal, primary economic roles are filled by men, and leadership is entirely male.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Chippewa Indians
		The popular name is a corruption of Ojibwa, a name of uncertain etymology, but generally supposed to refer to the "puckered up" appearance of the seam along the front of the tribal moccasin.
		The Ojibwa belong to the great Algonquian stock and are closely related to the Ottawa and the Cree.
		Although to a certain extent a sedentary people, the Ojibwa were not agricultural, their country being too cold for profitable farming by the rude Indian method, but depended for subsistence upon fishing, hunting, and the gathering of wild rice.

		It is significant that the number of sounds recognized by a language, the number of phonemes, varies greatly from language to language, both in their character and quantity.
		In modern languages this ancient character of being syllabic, and constructing sentences from fluid elements, is found in northern aboriginal languages, which is interesting also in that it suggests language change is not constant, but slower in remote isolation without human conflict, unchanging way of life, and a constant natural reference.
		Ojibwa iss, iz, izo is a verbalizer, reflexive form, indicating action to the self, to one, to another.

	The history of Canadian syllabics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Evans himself was becoming familiar with the local languages, and wrote in Ojibwa, and in 1830 was preaching sermons in the local Ojibwa language.
		As the Ojibwa were being taught both in English and in their own tongue, it was confusing for them to use the same script, especially as English.
		Evans determined that the language had 36 principal sounds and a few affixes for which he adapted a syllabic writing system he originally devised for Ojibway, of nine basic shapes which when rotated on their axis could be used to represent each syllable.
