Anishinaabemowin/Ojibwe (dialects: Algonquin, Central, Eastern, Nipissing Algonquin, Northwestern, Odawa, Oji-Cree/Severn Ojibwe, Saulteaux, Western Saulteaux), Potawatomi/Neshnabémowen, Western Abenaki.Eastern Montagnais: Innu-Aimûn) Naskapi, Atikamekw/Nēhinawēwin/Nehirâmowin).(dialects Western Montagnais: Piyekwâkamî, Betsiamites Cree (dialects: Plains Cree/Nehiyawewin/ ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐍᐏᐣ, Woods Cree/Nthithawīwin, Moose Cree, Swampy Cree, Northern East Cree, Southern East Cree) and closely related Montagnais.Blackfoot (two dialects: Pikanii, Siksika).Some of these languages in Canada include: There are many Algonquian languages in the United States as well as in Canada, with Algonquian-language communities found across both countries. Alternative names and spellings are shown with slashes between the names dialects are in parentheses. Places, Indigenous language names are replacing English language names. It is important to note that sources do not agree on what is considered a language and what is a dialect, nor on names or spellings. The languages listed here are based on the classification in Ethnologue and a variety of other sources. Increasingly use Indigenous names for languages, and have made increasingly fine divisions into different languages. The families given below have been well recognized by linguists for some time. Indigenous languages in Canada are generally grouped into 12 families. Influential in grouping language families together into stocks. Families are sometimes classified into larger groupings called "stocks." Researchers John Wesley Powell and Edward Sapir did early classifications. These classifications are based on shared vocabulary, sound correspondences, word structure and other features of Linguists classify languages into language families, or groups of languages that have a common ancestor, representing genealogical groups. Situation suggests more recent language spreads relative to the West. By contrast, central and eastern Canada are dominated by the Algonquian familyĪnd particularly by two languages, Cree and Anishinaabemowin/Ojibwe. Of speakers to the south and east, a view supported by archaeological and ethnological findings. The concentration of language families in the Pacific Northwest suggests that the West is a linguistically old area and the most likely staging area for successive migrations The Dene languages are thought to be related to the Yeniseian languages of Siberia. Related languagesĪlgonquian, Iroquoian, Dene, Siouan and Salishan languages are also spoken in the United States and languages that are closely related to Inuit are spoken in the United States, as well as in Siberia and Greenland. The province of British Columbia is linguistically highly diverse, with languages of the Salishan, Tsimshian, Wakashan, Dene (Athapaskan/Athabaskan/Athabascan and Tlingit) and Algonquian families spoken there as well as the isolates Haida/Xaad Kil and Kutenai/Ktunaxa. On the Prairies, there are speakers of Algonquian, Siouan, and Dene (Athapaskan/Athabaskan/Athabascan and Tlingit) languages, while speakers of Dene, Inuit andĪlgonquian languages inhabit the Subarctic. Languages from two families, Algonquian and Iroquoian, are traditionally found east of Lake Winnipeg. The distribution of language families, or languages with a common ancestor, is quite varied across Canada.
