Description:

Wyandot is the Iroquoian language traditionally spoken by the people known variously as Wyandot, Wendat, or Huron. It was last spoken primarily in Oklahoma and Quebec. Wyandot no longer has any native speakers, but is being studied and promoted as a second language. Anthropologist John Steckley was reported in 2007 as being the last speaker of Wyandot.. The Language is written with the Latin Alphabet, making use of two extra letters, θ for /θ/, and Ȣ for /u/. The lyrics of the Christmas hymn Huron Carol, written in 1643 by the missionary Jean de Brébeuf, were originally written in Wyandot.
