<b>Description:</b>

Algonquin (or Algonkin or Anicinàbemowin) is either a distinct Algonquian language closely related to the Anishinaabe language or a particularly divergent Anishinaabe dialect. It is spoken, alongside French and to some extent English, by the Algonquin First Nations of Quebec and Ontario. As of 2006, there were 2,680 Algonquin speakers, less than 10% of whom were monolingual. Algonquin is the language for which the entire Algonquian language subgroup is named. The similarity among the names often causes considerable confusion. Like many Native American languages, it is strongly verb based, with most meaning being incorporated into verbs instead of using separate words for prepositions, tense, etc.
Algonquin is an Algonquian language, of the Algic family of languages, and is descended from Proto-Algonquian. It is considered a particularly divergent dialect of Ojibwe by many, acting as a transitional language between the Ojibwe languages and the Abenaki languages. However, though the speakers call themselves Anicinàbe ("Anishinaabe") like the Ojibwe, the speakers of this language are not identified as "Ojibwe" and are called Odishkwaagamii (those at the end of the lake) by the Ojibwe.<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=382363 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
