The Algonquin (some communities use the spelling Algonkin) are a First Nation people of Canada. Sites about their language, Algonquin, should go in http://dmoz.org/Science/Social_Sciences/Language_and_Linguistics/Natural_Languages/Algic_Languages/Algonkin/. The word "Algonquian" does NOT refer to the Algonquins, nor to the Algonquin language. It is used ONLY to refer to the Algic language family or the people who speak languages belonging to this family. "Algonquian" is equivalent to "Indo-European" or "Sino-Tibetan." There is no Algonquian tribe. Please send any sites about "Algonquian" to http://dmoz.org/Science/Social_Sciences/Language_and_Linguistics/Natural_Languages/Algic_Languages/. |
