Algonkian Languages, part 1

				updated 1-25-2002

	The Algonkian languages (Algonkian-Mosan), also spelled Algonquian, comprise
one sub-branch of the Algonkian-Wakashan branch of the Algonkian-Mosan family of languages.
Some linguists prefer the term Algonkin, also spelled Algonquin, for this sub-branch, but in
fact Algonkin is one of the languages belonging to this branch.  Most of the Algonkian
languages are spread across central and eastern North America, but a few are found in
the Northwest.  There are many Algonkian languages, including Abnaki, Arapaho, Blackfoot,
Cheyenne, Cree, Fox, Illinois, Miami-Peoria, Narraganset, Ojibwa, Passamaquoddy,
Potawatomi, Unami, and Wampanoag.
