"Algonquian" redirects here. This article is about the language family. For the people, see
Algonquian peoples The Algonquian (also Algonquin) 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 language family was named for the
Algonquin language, from which it should be carefully distinguished. The term "Algonquin" derives from the Maliseet word elakómkwik (
IPA: ), "they are our relatives/allies". Many Algonquian languages are extremely endangered today, while a number of others have already died out completely.
