Produktbeschreibung
The Algonquian languages are a subfamily of Native American languages that includes most of the languages in the Algic language family. The name of the Algonquian language family is distinguished from the orthographically similar Algonquin dialect of the Ojibwe language, which is itself a member of the Algonquian language family. The term "Algonquin" derives from the Maliseet word elakómkwik (pronounced [ læ omo wik]), "they are our relatives/allies".Many Algonquian languages are extremely endangered today, with few native speakers, while a number have already become extinct.Speakers of Algonquian languages stretch from the east coast of North America to the Rocky Mountains. The proto-language from which all of the languages of the family descend, Proto-Algonquian, was spoken at least 3,000 years ago. There is no scholarly consensus as to the territory where this language was spoken. For information on the peoples speaking Algonquian languages, see Algonquian peoples.
