<b>Description:</b>
 
The Miami-Illinois language is a Native American language formerly spoken in the United States, primarily in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, western Ohio and adjacent areas along the Mississippi River by the tribes of the Inoca or Illinois Confederacy, including the Kaskaskia, Peoria, Tamaroa, Cahokia, and Mitchigamea. Miami-Illinois is an Algic language of the Algonquian family. The name 'Miami-Illinois' is a cover term for a cluster of extremely similar dialects, the primary ones being Miami proper, Peoria, Wea, and, in the older Jesuit records, Illinois. Its speakers were displaced from their territories, eventually settling in northeastern Oklahoma as the Miami Nation and the Peoria Tribe. The language was documented in written materials for over 200 years; the largest contribution being a dictionary compiled by Jaques Gravier, a Jesuit missionary who lived among the Kaskaskia tribe in the early 1700s. The document was a Kaskaskia to French dictionary, nearly 600 pages and 20,000 entries in length. The manuscript was edited and published by Carl Masthay in 2002. The closest relatives of the Miami-Illinois are Sauk, Meskwaki, Kickapoo, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi.
