Unamihoking
Lenapehoking () is widely translated as ' homelands of the Lenape', which in the 16th and 17th centuries, ranged along the Eastern seaboard from western Connecticut to Delaware, and encompassed the territory adjacent to the Delaware and lower Hudson river valleys, and the territory between them. Beginning in the 17th century, European colonists started settling on traditional Lenape lands. Combined with the concurrent introduction of Eurasian infectious diseases and encroachment from the colonists, the Lenape were severely depopulated and lost control over large portions of Lenapehoking. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the United States government forcibly removed the Lenape to the American Midwest, including the state of Oklahoma. Lenape nations today control lands within Oklahoma ( Delaware Nation and Delaware Tribe of Indians), Wisconsin ( Stockbridge-Munsee Community), and Ontario ( Munsee-Delaware Nation, Moravian of the Thames First Nation, and Delaware of Six Natio ...

Delaware Languages
The Delaware languages, also known as the Lenape languages (), are Munsee and Unami, two closely related languages of the Eastern Algonquian subgroup of the Algonquian language family. Munsee and Unami were spoken aboriginally by the Lenape people in the vicinity of the modern New York City area in the United States, including western Long Island, Manhattan Island, Staten Island, as well as adjacent areas on the mainland: southeastern New York State, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, and Delaware. Classification The Lenape language is part of the Algonquian branch of the Algic language family, and is part of the Eastern Algonquian language grouping which is considered to be a genetically related sub-grouping of Algonquian. The languages of the Algonquian family constitute a group of historically related languages descended from a common source language, Proto-Algonquian, which was descended from Algic. The Algonquian languages are spoken across Can ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Unami Language
Unami () is an Algonquian languages, Algonquian language initially spoken by the Lenape people in the late 17th century and the early 18th century, in the southern two-thirds of present-day New Jersey, southeastern Pennsylvania, and the northern two-thirds of Delaware. The Lenape later migrated, largely settling in Ontario, Ontario, Canada and Oklahoma. Today, it is only spoken as a second language. Unami is one of two Delaware languages; the other is Munsee language, Munsee. The last fluent Unami speaker in the United States, Edward Thompson, of the Federal government of the United States, federally recognized Delaware Tribe of Indians, died on August 31, 2002. His sister Nora Thompson Dean (1907–1984) provided valuable information about the language to linguists and other scholars. literally means 'Men of Men', but is translated to mean 'Original People'. The Lenape names for the areas they inhabited were (i.e. New Jersey), which means 'water's edge', and ''Lenapehoking'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Unalachtigo
The Unalachtigo were a division of the Lenape ( Delaware Indians), a Native American tribe whose homeland ''Lenapehoking'' was in what is today the Northeastern United States. They were part of the Forks Indians.Goddard, "Delaware," 236 The name was a Munsee language term for the Unami-speakers of west-central New Jersey. Moravian missionaries called the Lenape people of the Forks region near Easton, Pennsylvania "Unami," and the Northern Unami language-speakers in New Jersey "Unalachtigo." It is debated whether Unalachtigo constituted a distinct dialect of Unami. Unalachtigo words were recorded in 17th-century vocabulary drawn from the Sankhikan band of Lenape in New Jersey.Goddard, "Delaware," 215 The Sankhikan band were enemies of the Manhattan people, who spoke Munsee. Synonymy "Unalachtigo" probably came from the term ''wə̆nálâhtko·w'', which according to Ives Goddard has an unknown translation. Some sources translate ''unalachtigo'' as meaning "people who live near ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Munsee
The Munsee () are a subtribe and one of the three divisions of the Lenape. Historically, they lived along the upper portion of the Delaware River, the Minisink, and the adjacent country in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. They were prominent in the early history of New York and New Jersey, being among the first Indigenous peoples of that region to encounter European colonizers. Name The name is also spelled Minsi, Muncee, or mə́n'si·w. ''Munsee'' derives from ''Minsi'', which in turn comes from '' Min-asin-ink'' (also Minisink), a placename that translates as "at the place where stones are gathered together." Territory The Munsee originally occupied the headwaters of the Delaware River in present-day New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, extending south to the Lehigh River, and also held the west bank of the Hudson River from the Catskill Mountains nearly to the New Jersey line. They were bordered by the Mohican and Wappinger on the north and east, and fell ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Munsee Language
Munsee (also known as Munsee Delaware, Delaware, Ontario Delaware, ) is an endangered language of the Eastern Algonquian subgroup of the Algonquian language family, itself a branch of the Algic language family. Munsee is one of two Delaware languages (also known as Lenape languages, after the tribe's autonym). It is very closely related to the Unami Delaware, but the two are sufficiently different that they are considered separate languages. Munsee was spoken aboriginally by Lenape in the vicinity of the modern New York City area in the United States, including western Long Island, Manhattan Island, Staten Island, as well as adjacent areas on the mainland: southeastern New York State, the northern third of New Jersey, and northeastern Pennsylvania. As of 2018, Munsee was spoken only on the Moraviantown Reserve in Ontario, Canada, by two elderly individuals, aged 77 and 90, making it critically endangered. As of 2022, only one elderly native speaker remained. When the n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
